What shall we write to our precious ones?  |
|
I am about to sit down and write to one of my surrogate daughters. I have one "real" daughter and three surrogates. Two are at university in the UK, one in Australia taking a gap year and the third is living with her partner and her children also in the UK. I am not short of things to write about but after the excitement of yesterday (see avatar) I am trying to calm down and be moderately sensible. If you were to write a letter to your daughter what would you say about life at the moment.

1. bjcyrix (895) | 3 months ago | Hi! Im dont really have a daughter but I am a daughter. So I just wanted to say that I really apperciate you caring not only for your own daughter but also for surrogates. a mothers love 'real' or not can never be replaced and truly is one of a kind. Well, if I was one of your surrogates just a simple out-of-the-blue-never-expected-at-that-moment-really-tight-hug would be enough for me. Of course since I didnt expect it I would ask what was that for. Then it would be nice to hear 'You know I love you right?' That would just make my heart melt, but thats just me. And since you're talking about writing a letter, maybe you could give the letter after the hug. In case of the letter. Well, I would love to read some funny moments of us together and maybe the sad ones too. And I would love to read how you really feel about me. I wont mind if its anger, disappointment, love or maybe even hatred. But it has to be what you really feel and not what you think I think you feel about. It just shows you care,and im good with that. Thats just me...well, whatever you decide to write im sure they'll appreciate it. Goodluck!^_^

2. Goodie123 (5675) | 3 months ago | I would tell your daughters about the trip you had to see your parents. The photos you took for Kat and how thrilled she was to receive to receive them. How Kat thanked you in front of 200,000 mylotters. Then You should just slip in how you were conned into donning a bra. And now it is your new avatar a week. Signed the Fish In The Bra

p1kef1sh (2247) | 3 months ago | I think that I could easily do the first part, but the bra thing. I don't think three of the four would understand and the fourth knows and has commented. Thank you for the idea though.

3. PamE53 (1539) | 3 months ago | I have one daughter that lives in another state. When we write, it's as if we are in the same room together talking. Face to face. Sometimes letters to my daughter can be long or just a short one pager to let her know I miss her and am thinking of her. So take pen in hand, or computer under your finger tips and go with the flow! Have a fantastic day!

p1kef1sh (2247) | 3 months ago | Thank you Pam. I think of them all all the time. Call me soppy and sentimental if you like. I am mid letter right now.

4. nannacroc (1520) | 3 months ago | My first thoughts on this were that I wished they lived far enough away for me to have to write to them. I really don't know what I'd say about life at the moment, it's the same as always, some happy times some bad. I know at least two of them wil read this so I can't say what I'd like to as they'd think I'd gone soppy and would be looking at the old peoples homes.
| |
| |
|
|
p1kef1sh (2247) | 3 months ago | I don't think that it matters how far away they are. Write them a letter anyway. You could even write them one of your poems each. So what if they do think you are soppy. I know that you love your girls and I bet they know that you do, and they feel the same way about you.

5. skinnychick (2694) | 3 months ago | LMAO...I just loveeeeeeeeeeeeee the new avatar. You should really consider keeping it forever. I would tell my daughter that I love her dearly. That our life seems hectic and up in the air right now but we have each other and all will be ok. Going through a lot right now and she is along for the ride and the ride has been bumpy to say the least.
| |
| |
|
|
p1kef1sh (2247) | 3 months ago | That sounds a lovely thing to tell her. It is so important to say "I love you" I think.

| 6. RhodaK (75) | 3 months ago | I am a mother of 4 children. Ever since they were little I have kept a diary about each one of them. I wrote in there about my pregnancy feelings and labor and delivery details. Whenever they would have an important day or event in their lives, I would write down my feelings about it. Some things are just easier to say in writing, and I have found it a wonderful way to REALLY express how much they mean to me.
| |
| |
|
|
p1kef1sh (2247) | 3 months ago | That's wonderful. When they are older you will be able to look back and read those happy, and I guess occasionally sad, memories. Lovely Rhoda. Thank you for sharing that.

mummymo (9980) | 3 months ago | I wish I had done that with my children! My sister is a foster parent and has been for almost 30 years and she makes a book for every child she fosters that is filled with memories of their time with her so that when they leave they can take it with them and have memories with them always! xxx

7. mummymo (9980) | 3 months ago | That is really nice - I am sure they are always thrilled to hear from you! i would definitely let them know about the bra thing - even although I am not sure what actually happened, I am sure I will find out as I work through my discussion notifications! Not much i can say to my daughter in a letter apart from what I always tell her - that I love her and adore her and that I am always very proud of her - but she is only 6 and still lives at home! xxx

|
p1kef1sh (2247) | 3 months ago | I think that telling them that they are loved is the most important thing. My daughter has just rung and asked if she can give bone marrow. She's 19, she can do what she wants, but it is lovely that she wants her old Dad's thoughts on things that are important to her.
| |
|
|
mummymo (9980) | 3 months ago | I could not agree more pike my darling - feeling loved and knowing they are secure in that will help all our children feel more confident! Sounds like you have done a great job with your daughter not only is she seeking your opinion she sounds very considerate and selfless too! xxx
| |
|
|
Angelwhispers (4199) | 3 months ago | MO:)) where have you been? I have not seen you post all all in several days. Pike for sure I would tell them about your losing run here, the girls surly need a good laugh:)) Honestly they will love you for it.

mummymo (9980) | 3 months ago | Hi Angel, sorry I have been mia for a few weeks, I have been a bit low and tired and the kids were on school break for 2 weeks. they are back at school and I am trying to build up my energy again! lol I bet the girls already adore him and aren't surprised that he has done this! xxx

9. cynicalandoutspoken (1894) | 3 months ago | Can't help you on this one dear. My oldest daughter and I have spent the past week in absolute bliss after her custody hearing last Wednesday. It is like the weight of the world has been lifted off of her shoulders. She is smiling and laughing and is finally able to be a kid. Only 10 years too late, but who's counting? Back when I was pregnant with all of my children I wrote them all letters before they born. Hopes and dreams I had for them, what I wished for them out of life....They are all packed up in a cedar chest and I will be giving them to them on their wedding days. I can't remember a single thing I wrote to anyone but my avatar so it should be interesting to say the least.

|
|
p1kef1sh (2247) | 3 months ago | Maybe I missed the outcome of the custody hearing but I assume that it was favourable to you and that's fantastic news. What a relief. You can both get on with laughing and loving now. I think that writing to your children is such a great idea. I would imagine that to be the best present (other than the other half of course) that they could receive on their wedding day. I would like to do the same for my daughter only a little letter for when I eventually get called down below to stoke the fiery furnaces! No jokes this time. Juts my heartfelt good wishes to you both on that custody case. You deserve it. XX

10. Angelwhispers (4199) | 3 months ago | pike, my adult kids have their hands full with their own lives, so if I were the one writing to them, I would steer clear of any heartache or problems in my life, and in its stead focus on support of theirs. I would encourage, that what ever bad is going on will not last forever, that there is a a light at the end of the tunnel and it is not an on coming train. We struggle and muddle through but we get through, tougher stronger and more equipped to handle future crises. Everything I have learned in my own life.

p1kef1sh (2247) | 3 months ago | I think that is a very loving and sound approach. Get that notepaper out. LOL.
