My 14year old daughter has always been very quite and she rarely express her feelings to me and I find it very difficult sometimes. But today she gave me a letter when I came home from work.

Dear Mommy.

I know I havn’t been the best daughter a mother could ask for, but you on the otherhand have been the best mother a girl could ask for. I know I don’t say this often, and it is not the easiest thing for me either. But a quick hug and an “I love you” is all I have to show how much I love you and sometimes I wonder whether it is enough. I’m the luckiest girl in the world. You know why? Because I have you. A lot of my friends would wish to have a mother like you. ButI can proudly say that you are one of a kind. You may not know this, but like every other little kid, when I grew up I wanna be just like my mommy.

I am really sorry for all the trouble I have caused you. Never meant to. But I always ended up in a mess. And even if I did mess up I never cared cause I knew you would forgive me. You always ask me whether I miss you when you are away. The truth is I do but never liked to admit it. These things cannot be described in words but this is the only way for me to say it.

Love

Nau

Nau…Today is one of the happiest days in my life…I never expected something like this from you… You have hardly expressed your feelings to me and this is more than enough… All I want to say is don’t try to be like me…Try to be better than me…I love you..

    There are things I would like to say to my parents also but I don’t have that kind of close bond with them. They come from a different generation. They never hugged or kissed me as a child so I don’t feel that close to them and do not have the courage to talk any personal things. I wish otherwise.

    Nau’s right, you know. It’s not always the easiest thing to do; opening up and expressing how you really feels can make you vulnerable. But it doesnt always have to be a voice that communicates emotions, does it? : )
    In a way, i’d always known she loved you.
    There’ve been unguarded moments where she’d fallen off the wagon. But Nau’s smart, you know! (she puts her guard back on sooner than you could blink, and if I hadn’t paid much attention, i would have never noticed the difference….!) : )
    She’s growing up, you know. And when she’s done growing up, she will wihout a doubt be as fair, compassionate, understanding and loving as her mother has always been. (or shall we say even better tha that? : P)
