A Birthday Letter To My Daughter

To day is your birthday and on this special day I am writing you a letter. You were born 32 years ago today and I can remember that day as if it were yesterday. Which is pretty amazing as now a days I sometimes can't remember what happened an hour ago.

I was very young, too young to be a mother really, when you came into this world screaming at the top of your lungs. There you were a little red thing with a huge lump on your head. I was worried but the doctor assured me that it would disappear by the time you were 6 weeks old, and sure enough it did go away and you were left with a perfectly formed, round little head which was full of black hair. Your grandfather John had called you Willy numb nut because of that lump. It was said with deep affection because he had loved you dearly as did your grandmother.

Even though I was very young I managed to muddle through somehow and raised you to be the out standing daughter you are today. Those were trying times because at a very young age you were head strong and as you grew into your teenage years and adult hood you have always been head strong. You and I have not always seen eye to eye but some how or other we managed to stay close and managed not to inflict too much damage on each other, but for the most part I encouraged you to remain that way.

You are my first born and so are extra special to me for you are the one who taught me how to be a mother. You exceeded all my hopes ,dreams and expectations I have had for you, and so my Darling Daughter I wish you Happy Birthday and hope you will always get what you want out of life.

Love you always
Mom

PS

Christ I'm bawling like a baby now. I'm such a wus.
