Being a mom

Dear daughter,

Believe me when I tell you what a privelege it is to be your mother. I know all mothers will say this and it is probably the mother of clichés to say you are the best daughter anyone could have.

I have always craved for unconditional love.  The kind of love that laughs for no reason, doles out hugs by the million, the love that is so vocal that it doesn't feel embarrassed to shout out a " I miss you" even when I'm away only a minute to take a bath.
You, my sweetheart, embody that love and much more. Whoever it was that said children are god knew what he was saying.
I see myself as fat, ugly and so many more derogative adjectives, but you have a genuine compliment to give me when I'm down and out.

You know how to kiss me and make me forget all the worries of life, you know how to smile and wipe that annoyance and anger off my face, you know how naughty to be and get me laughing.

I think you are more than what I deserve, the brightest ray of sunshine in my gray existence, the rainbow of my monochromatic life. The unexpected treasure that life has given me.... and trust me, even when you think that I don't get you or I hate you or I resent you when you grow up and be a teenager, I will always thank you for being in my life... For giving birth to all that is good in me.

Love you baby.
