A co-worker and I were discussing mother/daughter relationships. Her daughters little girl has been on a constant, "I hate you." battle with the momma. We started to talk about how daughters seem to go through those phases.
It made me so sad. What if this baby is a girl and I have to endure what I put my mother through? I want so badly to change the past and the way I treated my mother, but I know I can not. I am sure my mother could share the stories of the awful that was our relationship as I was a teen. Luckily we have come to a point in life where she is my best friend.
My co-worker shared a story of how she found a photo of herself that had the face poked out. I wanted to cringe. I had done something similar to a photo of my mom and I my senior year.
So, what is it that flips the switch? What makes us women go from mommas little girl, evil daughter, to best friends? Granted, not everyone does this... but for the ones that do I have to say how thankful I am to have my mother as a best friend even though I was not nice.
Seeing how Mother's Day is Sunday - let's take the time to tell our mothers how thankful we are for them, how much they mean to us, and how blessed we are to be their child.
Momma, you and I talked about it already - but I love you to the moon and you are truly my hero! I love you and happy early mothers day!
