My first daughter Christine was born when I was 18 years old. She became my world. I became a stay at home mom so we spend all of our waking hours together. I talked to her and told her my secrets, things that I know she didn’t understand but confiding in her somehow always made me feel better when I was sad and exuberated when I had good new to tell her. Our bond was strong and never wavered. She knows that she can come to me for anything and I know that I can tell her anything. She is now 43 years old and has her own family, however we talk every night see each other often.
Most people have one best friend, I have three. That’s right three. They are my daughters. Friends come and go in my life but as fate would have it, God blessed me with three remarkable women who are both friend and family. They are each unique in their own ways. My first daughter Christine was born when I was 18 years old. She became my world. I became a stay at home mom so we spend all of our waking hours together. I talked to her and told her my secrets, things that I know she didn’t understand but confiding in her somehow always made me feel better when I was sad and exuberated when I had good new to tell her. Our bond was strong and never wavered. She knows that she can come to me for anything and I know that I can tell her anything. She is now 43 years old and has her own family, however we talk every night see each other often. Less than two years after Christine, came Maria. I didn’t know it then, but she was to be the middle child. She did not have that same “alone” time with me because she had to share my time with her sister, same as I had to spread myself between the two girls. I watched the two of them grow together and form a bond. Then Christine started school and I had to opportunity to spend more time with Maria. We did everything together, grocery shopping, TV: Her favorites and my soaps. This is how my kids got hooked on General Hospital! She loved me to read fairy tales out of her favorite book. I would take it with me whenever I knew we would be waiting for a while, to doctors’ visits, motor vehicles, etc. Yes, there were many visits to the doctor because I was expecting daughter number three. Maria was quiet and sensitive and a great secret keeper and was intuitive. She didn’t tell her worry wart sister when Sky Lab was falling but she did tell the doctor that mom ate too much pizza and donuts! Then the baby came. Another little girl came into my life. Maria became the middle child, the peanut butter and jelly, the meat in the sandwich. It is hard to make that middle child believe how very special that they are to the family. She is still very special. The two older girls did not need all my attention and were actually a great help with the baby. So now the two older girls are in school and I was home with the baby. For five years I had her to myself for hours on end. Laura was a bit of a mystery to me. She had a mind of her own and was stubborn. It was almost like she was an only child because by the time she was born, the other two were older and had their own circle of friends which did not include a baby. I became Laura's best friend. Christine and Maria went on to get married and became mothers themselves and remains at home with me and is still stubborn and my confidant. So you see, I have THREE best friends, my daughters. We laugh together, cry together, bitch and moan and man bash together LOL. Just like my mother was my best friend until she passed, my daughters are my best friends as I suspect they will be their children's best friend. These three are by Crowdtap Mission helpers!
