[QUOTE="Star*, post: 443144, member: 4964"] Dear Mom, I don't know if I have ever thanked YOU for my life. For all the things that I have in my life. For all the things that I became in my life; I am because of YOU. I'm not WHO I am because of you, but your love, your guidance, your caring, your nurting, your teaching, your understanding of things the way I needed to know them. Your encouragement, your philosophies, your time, your investment, your intuition, your abilities and who your Mother was and how you were raised all went into making me, supporting me, guiding me, shaping me and ALLOWING ME the freedoms to become the person that I chose to be. Did I become the person that you dreamed I would be? Not necessarily. Did I become the person that teachers in school thought I would be? No. Did I become a good and caring person? Yes. Am I a person of character and good moral standing with my family and my God? Yes. Am I a person who is honest, just, kind, loving, decent, thoughtful, smart, understanding, brilliant, well liked by my friends and loved by my husband and children? Absolutely. As I see it, there is not much missing from my life. I feel complete, satisfied, whole, at peace except for one thing, and that thing is between you and I, and I desperately need it to feel complete. I need you to look at me with sincerity and tell me that you accept me as I am, that you are satisfied with my life. I feel at times that as my first teacher you think I missed your mark somehow and let you down in the success department, and Mom nothing could be farther from MY truth. I have all I ever wanted. I'm whole, except for this one very large missing thing from someone who is so large in my life. I love you more than I could tell you, and for so long your example and opinions have mattered to me. I just needed you to know this bothers me, and I hope as my Mother, my best friend you can once again help me so that I can put this behind me.. I need you to know that with or without your approval I am a complete success at my life. It would just mean more to me if you would see it that way too. I love you T (I dunno - Maybe something like that?) [/QUOTE]
