with Love,
on the
Important Things in Life
A mother tries to provide her daughter
with insight into the important things in life
in order to make her life
as happy and fulfilling as possible.
A mother tries to teach her daughter
to be good, always helpful to other people,
to be fair, always treating others equally,
to have a positive attitude at all times,
to always make things right when they are wrong,
to know herself well,
to know what her talents are,
to set goals for herself,
to not be afraid of working too hard to reach her goals.
A mother tries to teach her daughter
to have many interests to pursue,
to laugh and have fun every day,
to appreciate the beauty of nature,
to enter into friendships with good people,
to honor their friendships and always be a true friend,
to appreciate the importance of the family,
and to particularly respect and love our elder members,
to use her intelligence at all times,
to listen to her emotions,
to adhere to her values.
A mother tries to teach her daughter,
to not be afraid to stick to her beliefs,
to not follow the majority when the majority is wrong,
to carefully plan a life for herself,
to vigorously follow her chosen path,
to enter into a relationship with someone worthy of herself,
to love this person unconditionally with her body and mind,
to share all that she has learned in life with this person.
If I have provided you with an insight
into most of these things
then I have succeeded
as a mother
in what I hoped to accomplish in raising you.
If many of these things slipped by
while we were all so busy,
I have a feeling that you know them anyway.
One thing I am sure of, though,
I have taught you to be proud of the fact
that you are a woman equal to all men and
I have loved you every second of your life
I have supported you at all times
and as a mother, as a person, and as a friend,
I will always continue to cherish and love
everything about you,
my beautiful daughter.
