Just wanted to take a moment & wish all the mommas out there a very . . .
I am spending the day with my momma & my daughter - TOTAL Girls Day out!
They are 2 of my BESTEST friends & I feel so very blessed to have such am AMAZING mom & a daughter who I love more than life itself!
If you are fortunate to have a 'momma' in your life, I hope you are getting to spend some quality time with her today!
********************************
I saw this come across my FB feed this week & it REALLY resonated with me & just made me realize how much I appreciate MY mom. I shared this with her & promised to "try" my best to be there for her like this. Enjoy!

Letter from a Mother to a Daughter:
"My dear girl, the day you see I’m
getting old, I ask you to please be patient,
but most of all, try to
understand what I’m going through.
If when we talk, I repeat the same
thing a thousand times,
don’t interrupt
to say: “You said the same thing a minute ago”... Just listen, please.
Try to remember the times when you were little and I would read the same
story
night after night until you would fall asleep.
When I don’t want
to take a bath, don’t be mad and don’t embarrass me.
Remember when I had
to run after you making excuses and trying to get you
to take a shower
when you were just a girl?
When you see how ignorant I am when it comes
to new technology,
give me the time to learn and don’t look at me that
way...
remember, honey, I patiently taught you how to do many things
like eating appropriately, getting dressed, combing your hair
and
dealing with life’s issues every day...
the day you see I’m getting old,
I ask you to please be patient,
but most of all, try to understand what
I’m going through.
If I occasionally lose track of what we’re talking
about,
give me the time to remember, and if I can’t,
don’t be nervous,
impatient or arrogant.
Just know in your heart that the most important
thing for me
is to be with you.
And when my old, tired legs don’t let me
move as quickly as before,
give me your hand the same way that I
offered mine to you when you first walked.
When those days come, don’t
feel sad... just be with me,
and understand me while I get to the end of
my life with love.
I’ll cherish and thank you for the gift of time and
joy we shared.
With a big smile and the huge love I’ve always had for
you,
I just want to say, I love you... my darling daughter. "
Happy Mother's Day my friends - now go hug your momma!
