Proud Mama
by kira_p at 11/16/2010 1:28:16 PM
I volunteered at my daughter's school for the first time on Monday, and again today. I am so impressed with the person she is becoming I almost broke down in the classroom today with tears of joy...She is such a shy and quiet little thing yet so poised, polite and courteous for her age. Some of the bigger children take advantage of her small stature and take things from her and try to push her around a little, and yet she takes it all in stride, standing her ground with a smile and aplomb that far surpasses her tender years. She makes me so damn proud to be her mother I am crying as I write this. Just seeing what an individual she is developing into makes me want to hold on to these precious moments but they slip through time like tears in rain...It is all I can do not to jump in and protect her from the world and all its troubles and obstacles that she will face in the future, but somehow I know she will take on all comers like a little champion, my hero in the truest sense of the word...What I did to deserve such a gift is beyond my comprehension sometimes...But I thank my Makers every single day that she is my daughter. I do not think I even knew the true meaning of the word love until I had her, and every problem I could ever have pales in comparison to the love I have her her, and that she has for me. Somehow, gratitude does not define the thanks I can never express for the gift she is to me and every one she touches. Sometimes I feel like the luckiest person on earth because she calls ME mama....
