One of my favorite things are those tapes of the two of us chattering. Although I do not wear dresses much I'm sorry to say the girly girl thing is NOT a phase. I will never enjoy getting dirty, hiking, or nature much. I love to look at nature, but don't care much to be a PART of it. I LOVE to read. I must get that from your mother, although I do enjoy your made up stories. I will always be quite serious as well. We are pretty different in almost every way, yet we will always be the best of friends (even when you start telling me how to raise my kids, which will prove to be the test of our relationship). The art however does stick and I will always enjoy creating things, this we will always have in common.
Love,
MaryJanes

ReplyDeleteThis blog is so sweet. I can not wait to have a daughter of my own someday!
Jen,
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you left a comment!
I was hoping to read what others might be more like, a "MJ" or a "G"
Thank you for saying the blog is sweet! I am looking forward to posting about happier times, but if you don't read the letters from the past, you won't know our full story. I hope that others will read and see that none of us are perfect and we as mother's do the best that we can. We cross our fingers and hope our children don't repeat our errors while trying not to repeat our our mother's mishaps. If you tell your children you love them, encourage them to try new things and let them know they will need to learn by trial and error sometimes, they will find their own footsteps!
I smiled at your comment, thank you for that!

I am also like MJ, except I hated girly things before I turned 13. I was very tom-boyish. Still don't like dresses, and my mommy, more like you,but she always tries to put me in the dress, and I am 20 now!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is beautifully written, I cannot wait until the page loads so that I will read your life story, [sorry if I sound like a stalker, I promise I am not, well maybe a little :)].
