A lip-wibbling unashamed Mother's Day boast

[akaWisey]

This is the letter my DD (18) has just given me:

Dear Mum,

Happy Mother's Day! You have been a mother now for 34 years. How does that feel?

I hope you've loved being a mum to me, DS1 and DS2 because we love having you as our mum. I don't doubt being a mum is hard especially with the lives we have had so far, but you've done it so well.

No matter how much we've been through and how difficult we have been to cope with you have always been there and never gave up on us. Equally we're here for you, we've all taken your side and all support you, because we love you.

You may already know this but i am so proud of the woman you are. It's amazing for me to see you so sad during a horrible time and compare that to how you are now. It shows your strength. It shows you are a good person and although it all may have hindered our relationship a bit at the time it also brought us closer together so I'm thankful for that.
I feel that from the way you have brought me up, especially after these last couple of years, I have become very independent and I have been allowed to become me. I've grown up a lot thanks to you. Although that may sound sad to you as if I'm about to fly away it's actually a good thing. It means I won't have to rely on anyone in my life.

You know yourself (even though sometimes you're doubtful). You are an amazing woman/mother/person. And hey, you've got men dropping falling at your feet!! Don't ever doubt you're all the things I've said because I mean it. I love you mum.

Little Wisey

So - I'm going to have a small cry

[WhispersOfWickedness]

Aww, that's lovely

[mammadiggingdeep]

I'm having a small cry for you. Just lovely. You deserve it.

cheers!

[Bowlersarm]

Oh how lovely. I can see I need to drop hints to my 18 year old that this is the very present I'd like next year.

Have a great day, OP.

Yes, amazing. Well done for being such a fantastic mum. And your DD sounds wonderful - independent, empathetic and kind enough to take the time to put words on paper to tell you how much you mean to her.

Happy Mother's Day

[louby44]

Lovely! You must be very proud! Enjoy your day

[Deathwatchbeetle]

Waaaaaaaah! That has made me fill up as much as the tot that made her mum some toast them got in bed beside her and ate it!!!

Keep that letter as a treasure to be pulled out whenever you have dark days or feel unappreciated.

I am having a cry on your behalf too:)

Be proud, not only of your children, but of yourself, you've obviously done a great job X

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

You sound brilliant. I hope you feel completely proud of yourself and have a day as marvellous as you are.

[Caramelle]

I think I have something in my eye.

[RalphGnu]

I feel all warm inside

You must be so proud, OP, and your lovely DD sounds very proud too.

[FR1]

You have a lovely thoughtful daughter!

[akaWisey]

She's luffly and we're going out for something nice to eat very soon.

Thank you all.

[Gunznroses]

[BackforGood]

That's lovely - I'm having a little well up here.

[youmakemydreams]

[Hissy]

How lovely! :)

[Anniegetyourgun]

[ScarletWomanoftheVillage]

[ghostinthecanvas]

Thats lovely. Thank you for sharing x

[Deathwatchbeetle]

This is what it is all about, not the over commercial crap!

This was surely appreciated more than a hallmark card and flowers. It is the showing of appreciation and making the effort to show she really does appreciate you.

[jayho]

well done wisey x
