Daughter to a mother, mother to a daughter......

The hardest job on earth is to be a mother. If your parents died you are an orphan. If you became separated from your spouse you are called a single-mom. If you lose your partner in life you are a widow. But if you lose your child, how do they call you? Do you know....? Nothing can describe the grief of a mother. That's why no words can be more fit for the pain.I am a mother to a three year old daughter, a daughter to a fifty five year old mother. I've been thinking about this for sometime now... Can you really tell where your limitations are as a mother? My mother was very annoying this past days. We're not staying with them we live separately. She works overseas, but we have communications every single day. The wonders of technology made it possible to have unlimited conversations. I appreciate her except that she gets into our day to day decisions. She wants to know everything, she wants to be obeyed! I really feel sorry for my husband,he does everything to give us a better life, only he has no luck. I know soon something very nice will come out, out of his perseverance. We're still young we have a great future ahead of us, I know. My mom just thinks that we're very slow in making progress in our lives. And that can be very hurtful. I just comfort my partner and give him my full support. I try not to meddle with my mother's words anymore, to keep my marriage work. And my sanity as well. On the other hand my three year old daughter started schooling last June. And you know kids now a days they can be very sweet, charming, but when their mood changes, they become very naughty and stubborn. She wants to grow up right away. She wants to try different things and most might harm her. But I know, one thing is for sure, no matter what happens in the future I will be always at her side. I can't imagine a day without my daughter, she's my life, she's all I have. I don't know how she will turn out to be. I am more scared on how I will turn out to be. I don't want to be like my mom, but who can tell? I am just a mother. A mother I will always be. Loving her child constantly, unconditionally......
