Now that my older daughter is OLDER I find myself in this strange position. I am still her mother and she is still my daughter BUT I recognize she is an adult. (And I know she is reading this and probably commenting on my writing style-she is too smart but that story is for another day!) In any event as a mom you have these heart tugs where you feel it is time to check in.
I “asked” my daughter if I could visit and she “graciously” allowed me to come- NOTE I am practicing my new role as an OLDER mom- and we had a LOVELY time.
It brought me such joy to see my baby bear evolve into this power house young woman! I did this! (She is also commenting right now that moms cannot take ALL the credit!) What she does not know yet and will not know until she takes this role herself is the bond between a mom and daughter knows no end! As long as I am living, my baby she’ll be and I will BE Going on a BEAR HUNT!
