Hey, little girl…

When did you get so wise?

I remember when you clung to me

Now we share secrets

Grown up secrets

I am not sure how you became

The wonderful person you are

But I am so glad I gave you life

Because you did the same for me

then you won't see the best that I would love to do for you"

this beauty reminds me of growing up with my son...children are so marvelously a treasure.

But, then you might also be applying this to a love...

Never-the-less, this was a very lovely wright and read.

Hi, Susan!  I've got a daughter, too, who's working on her Masters degree now, and you described exactly how I feel about her!  Thanks!

Sometimes we see them growing up,  so fast
and it makes your head spin...wondering if
you can keep up....

A very nice expression of love...thanx
Susan.

A daughter has a way of breathing life right back into us,  
and what a treasure she is!!!

Coming full circle is a glorious feeling
and wonderful time to share.

Really loved this Susan~

Thankies my mummy, who would have thought that those rough years would bring the best the next. you have a wonderful way of bringing up children even though each one of us had, had such hard times we got through them with flying colors. you gave us the strength we needed in those times of need and For once in my life Im finally happy with things the was they are. and with out a doubt They will become better in the near future Im happy for the new love in your life and it makes me happy every day to see you with a smile on your face. We alwasy knew your heart came to us first. Love you mommy

You did a wonderful job it would seem with raising that precious daughter Susan.
She sounds very very special and appreciative!

Thank you everyone.

And Daughter?  You continue to amaze me...I love you so...and was it you that ate all the meat out of the chinese food in the fridge?

Now Susan, I know I saw this the first time around, and could have sworn I left a "thank you" response, but I don't see it...

so here it is.
