My daughter turned 38 last month (October) and I was able to get her a gift and take her out to dinner. I wish I could have piled golden coins on her and bought her all the things she wants in this life. She has been such a good and sweet daughter. We have not always gotten along. I did not always make her real happy. I worked alot, I went out, I didn't spend all the time I could have with her. Oh, that is not to say that we did not have some good times. We did. She is bi-polar and has a learning disability. She has needed my help for alot of years. Finding the right medication, homelessness, and bad choices all played a part in the past we both share. I was just interacting with her tonight and I thought: I am so lucky to have this lovely woman in my life and to have her as a daughter. There was a time in the past that I was really scared that she may not make it to age 25 much less to 38. She has had a fantastic journey and she is a real jewel. Beautiful and smart and such a good mother. My question to you is this: Do you have a child that has had some medical concern, problems in her/his younger years and has recently shown you in some small way that they are so meraculous and special that you wonder why you ever wondered how it would turn out. Such special people our children are.

What a wonderful happy ending to a story!
I have a wonderful daughter also, well actually 2, but I am only talking about my oldest right now.
She is 17. At the age of 14 she was molested by a so-called family friend. We did everything the way we were supposed to. Reported it to authorities, collected evidence (including proper DNA), refused a plea agreement, (he did not confess). Ultimately my daughter at the time only 16 years of age, went to court up against a horrible defense attorney and was ran through the muck for 2 solid days of trial.
Mind you this man (and his family) are respected people in our community and many people fear them.
She had no fear! End result was he got off. Yes, he was aquitted, even with proper DNA evidence and all evidence in our favor. God only knows what the jury was thinking. And goes to show you what $35,000 can buy you in a defense attorney.
Long story short, a year later, she is now a volunteer at a local pro-life center for teen mothers. She counsels and mentors them. She has spoken at church youth conferences and has a huge ministry ahead of her.
Her strength is amazing. Yes, there were many tough times before now, but she is an overcomer and most certainly my HERO!

Wow! What a story! It could have so easily have gone another direction. So happy you have such a strong and delightfully wonderful daughter. You have every right to be very proud of her.

What a good mom you are to be there, even when you had your doubts. My son, who I never dreamed would have troubles, has had some this year, and they are not over, but I know he is a terrific person. I think we can be really blessed by our kids and their life journeys.


myLot reputation of 97/100. celticeagle (4463)   ranked 71 out of 2,795 in daughter  3 weeks ago

Yes, we sure can. It is all such a blessing and part of the adventure of life that is good to be along for.

No but I always dreamed of a momma who would face up to her faults and love me for who I am, forgiving on both sides.........................


myLot reputation of 97/100. celticeagle (4463)   ranked 71 out of 2,795 in daughter  3 weeks ago

i don't have a child yet at the moment... but i do know that when i have one in the future, he/she will be very special to me regardless of whatever conditions he/she has... a child is a blessing from God and i will be ecstatic when God will trust me to raise a child in the future... kudos to you... you had been such a supportive and wonderful mum and you have a beautiful and amazing daughter too... take care and have a nice day...


myLot reputation of 97/100. celticeagle (4463)   ranked 71 out of 2,795 in daughter  3 weeks ago

I have certainly always tried to be. Thank you for the very kind words and thoughts in my direction.

Good for you, what a wonderful story. Does your daughter know how proud you are of her? I wish you all the best and also for these feelings that you are having to last a lietime. I have a 30 year old son that is not making me very proud of him right now. I hope that sometime soon that I can be proud of him again. Its a nice feeling when your kids make you proud. its sad when your kids don't do right and don't make you proud.


myLot reputation of 97/100. celticeagle (4463)   ranked 71 out of 2,795 in daughter  3 weeks ago

It is surely nice and makes all the bad times seem nearly insugnificant. We are very fortunate.

I think that there is a time when we all worry about our children and what will become of them. I do. This world today is not such a welcoming place. I would love to pile gold coins in front of mine too. I am so happy for you that your daughter has turned out so well and I hope the same for mine too. Congrats! You have a right to be very proud.


myLot reputation of 97/100. celticeagle (4463)   ranked 71 out of 2,795 in daughter  3 weeks ago

Thank you! I think if we didn't love them it wouldn't be so hard. My daughter went through some horrid stuff. The trip was back was heroing and she is doing well now. It is odd to watch her growing older too. I started to say 'old'--Ugh!

I can see how good mother you are.I have a daughter too and i can feel your concern.I did everything for her.I want to make her happy and like you i wish i was able to gave her all she wanted.I was not a perfect daughter.I had done things that against their will.When i became a mom, i realized the mistakes that i had done.And i tried my daughter not to go the wrong path.I,ve been praying that she will never experience the things that i had.Your daughter is very lucky your still their for her.When i was 38 i never had parents anymore.They passed away when i was in my middle 20s.I know how hard to be without parents at all.So i always pray that i will have a longer life to spend with my family.I wish your daughter good health and happiness.You are such a good mom!


myLot reputation of 97/100. celticeagle (4463)   ranked 71 out of 2,795 in daughter  3 weeks ago

So you lost both of your folks when you were 38? Ugh! I guess I was about that as well actually. Thank you, Dear!
