my dear daughter
Well,time sure flies huh? this time 5 years ago i was at aunty rachels birthday party with back ache despairing that i was in fact going to be the first person to be pregnant forever, and now here you are 5 tomorrow and off to school on monday. You werent born in the most satisfactory of circumstances, i was only 19 and really,maturely wise, far too young, your dad and i barely liked each other by then and i wasnt exactly rolling in money, in all honesty it probably would have been better for you and me if we had waited. But me being me( ie stubborn, as you know) decided keeping you was the only option and its a decision i've never regretted, sure we've had some tough times you and me, but we've also had mostly wonderful times, amazing times beautiful memories that belong to just us. Everyday, even now, i find it hard to comprehend that YOU came from MY body, how could I, with all my flaws have made someone so pretty and clever and perfect? of everything i have created and made in my life, you are by far the most amazing achievement. So as you embark on what is the start of your school life, where you may meet that special friend who will be one of your dearest till your all grown up , i hope you know how much i love you , and that i am so proud of you. I dont know what i did in my life to be your mummy , but i thank God for it every day. All of my love, till the world ends and then forever after , mummy xxxx Ps-just a quick note of thanks to my mum, susieq, i know i havent always shown it mum, but i know very well i couldnt have survived the last 5 years without you and dads love and support. Your a fantastic nana and a fantastic mum and its an honour to be your daughter, i love you both kelly xx |
