From a daughter's...Your daughter is beautiful!<br /><br />From a daughter's perspective, I am really empathize with this post. I was an only child and I was homeschooled. I spent a LOT of time with my mom and we are super close and I love her ohsomuch! But I STILL went through the normal teenage rebellion of butting heads, testing waters, wanting my way, etc etc. <br /><br />I'm so happy that my mother and I have cultivated a real friendship now that I'm in my 20s. Yesterday I was stressing over my fertility issues with my mom and she told me her fertility story and how deeply it ran and how the month I was conceived was literally her last chance after 10 years of trying before doctors would call her infertile. I had to fight back tears while listening to my mother because now, not only was I able to identify with her as a fellow woman trying to conceive, but I understood more fully now just how deeply my mother wanted me and begged God for me and how special I was to her. It made me feel guilty for all the grief I'd caused her growing up, all the rebellion of being a teenager. I apperciated her in a new way -- I saw her with new eyes. <br /><br />It sounds like you and your daughter are headed down that same path. And being 17, she still has a lot more growing and learning to do. Your friendship is still growing and deepening and it is DEFINITELY that God given grace that's going to get the two of you there. <3Off Label Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01100873426593643495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055985957805570070.post-51475160139633694442012-01-10T22:49:45.064-06:002012-01-10T22:49:45.064-06:00This is lovely...

I had a similar relationship with my mother, I am no teenager anymore (unfortunately ! Ha !) but we still have big fights, shout, say anything to each other...yet she's my best friend and she's always been there for me. Our bond will never break and this we both know it. I suppose a mother-daughter relationship is always somehow difficult, but it's so beautiful !<br /><br />You're invited to enter my <a href="http://www.fashionandcookies.com/2012/01/romwe-new-year-giveaway-on-fashion-and.html" rel="nofollow">Romwe giveaway !</a><br /><a href="http://www.fashionandcookies.com" rel="nofollow">Fashion and Cookies</a> <br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Fashion-and-Cookies/283592431682956" rel="nofollow">Fashion and Cookies on Facebook</a><br /><a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/2949153/fashion-and-cookies" rel="nofollow">Follow me on Bloglovin</a><br /><a href="http://twitter.com/#!/valelavale" rel="nofollow">My Twitter</a>Vale ♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/15953401769919270897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055985957805570070.post-11825190555854190102012-01-09T14:41:36.207-06:002012-01-09T14:41:36.207-06:00Great post!
