And, trust me, no matter how 'grown up' she gets, she'll always need you... I still need my mom, that's for sure. :) Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07376366527875243849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055985957805570070.post-83556708264022477172013-01-23T08:01:29.607-06:002013-01-23T08:01:29.607-06:00simply stopping by to say heysimply stopping by to say heyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055985957805570070.post-87402791486548582292013-01-22T17:17:42.735-06:002013-01-22T17:17:42.735-06:00Congratulations!

It's a learning process, some good, some bad. <br /><br />Anyway, you both are so blessed to have each other. I love where you wrote, "She may not rely on me or depend on me the exact same ways she use to, but she will always need me. Right now, she just needs me in different ways, (right guys??)! Our bond will never be broken, it will just loosen for a while, and I understand that. At least I've been trying to." -- You know what? Not many moms are able to experience what you experienced w/ your daughter. I know now, how valuable family is that when I was a teen. It's a true blessing. You are a beautiful person, inside and out. I truly mean it.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10737556290435717491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055985957805570070.post-12129227260311776642013-01-18T20:38:58.643-06:002013-01-18T20:38:58.643-06:00Aw Gina this post is full of sweetness.
