Dear Casey, you said something the other day which upset me. I have to address it. I asked you how much I owe you for grooming my dog and you said "Nothing, Mom, I owe YOU! If it wasn't for you I wouldn't even be here." I said nothing at the time, but, Casey, you don't owe any one anything for being born. Your father and I should thank the powers of the universe for letting us be the parents of such an extraordinary child. You are smart and funny and sweet and you have more heart than anyone I have ever known. I am the lucky one, to even know you, let alone be your mom.*
Yep, I know, DD does not do mushy posts..but, this is my only living child and she's wonderful and needs to know that.
OMG! I love it. You are just an ol' softee!!! Casey is gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteCasey is beautiful DD and she looks as sweet as can be. I think you are both very lucky!
ReplyDeletecrying right now....if only my mom would say something like this to me!!
ReplyDeleteIronically, my mom said the other day, "You owe me! For being born!" She says that all the time. I told her I don't owe her anything.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is extrordinary and I never want her to think she's anything but the gift she is.
i wish you were my mom
ReplyDeletemore mothers need to have your point of view...

I thought I already did! LOL..I love my readers, you guys get me through the hard times. No doubt.
ReplyDeleteSuper Sweet post DD, I love my mom even though she gets under my skin. She visits my house once a month for a week or so, cooks peruvian food, jokes with my hubby, helps me clean up a bit and just relaxes! She's in Georgia with the Bible beater, hope she's doin okay. miss her! lov you guys here. I'm having a tough day today, thinking about finance and possible bankruptcy. you guys make me laugh and cry. bima xxoo
ReplyDeleteGood vibes going out to you, Bima. :)
ReplyDeleteI've read a lot of posts today on several different blogs, but this post is the nicest one I've read in such a long time. Thanks for sharing this with us, DD. It truly touched my heart.
ReplyDeleteAww that was beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAw, that made me smile! Very nice post :)
ReplyDeleteShe's beautiful too!
ReplyDeleteJarhead said it best ....
ReplyDeleteAnd Casey is beautiful.
From the pics I have seen, I think you and Casey look alike. And from the things I have read, you are a lot alike---love animals, are helpful to all, and are just loving and caring---kind souls!
ReplyDeleteDD...the next time your mom says you owe her just say "Why do I owe you! Didn't the sailor leave two bucks on the night stand before he left?"
Bima...I send you hugs and hope they help. So many people are just at the ends of their ropes. It seems to just get worse. But the people here will listen and let you vent and give you support. It's good to feel that people who were once strangers are now caring friends. In fact, big hugs to everyone! I just have a warm and fuzzy feeling now.
This was such a nice post to read today. DD, I haven't commented in a long time. I used to send in pics of my dog Grace Kelly and son James. Since I've commented last we've added identical boys to the clan. But they're almost 1 already! I don't know who was smiling upon me to give me these three boysbut I feel the same way you do. I owe them everything. Thanks for this, this made me smile after a hectic day.
ReplyDeleteAww DD this makes miss my mom so much...I can't wait to get my finances together and visit her down in EC..haven't seen her since 2005!
ReplyDeleteur daughter luvs u mightily. and she is sooo pretty, she looks like u in a way. cool beans ^_^
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful post to someone who is obviously beautiful on the inside and out. Reading that made my day.
ReplyDeleteI have an idea to help DD with the situation with her mother. Let's only say and think good things about their relationship, as DD has done here with respect to her relationship with her lovely daughter.
ReplyDeleteI know there's a provision or spell for this type of thing in Wicca, as there is in many traditions. If there are any Wiccans here, please use your powers of imagination to imagine healing and love between DD & Tuwella. It's much easier to think hateful thoughts and thoughts of resistance but those kinds of thoughts and words are exactly what is keeping the situation in the horrible and uncomfortable state it is right now.
What we put out to the Universe, the Universe sends right back to us. What is in our hearts becomes reality in our lives, and in the lives of others.
Anyone who is willing to do this, just think supportive, loving thoughts towards Tuwella and DD. That's all. Just imagine that they have a more loving relationship.
DD, you as a Wiccan know the power of thought and imagination - and words. A spell is an act of imagination backed up with action (words, rituals) which literally changes reality.
With our support, I know you can have a better relationship with your mother. Remember the Law of Resistance - that which you resist never stops chasing you.
Any practitioners of silence (meditation) or prayers here, please take a moment to add DD & Tuwella to your practice. Just imagine in silence that they have a more loving relationship. That's all we can ever really do to support others at a distance anyway, and we who love Pat may actually help her change her situation through affirming a positive relationship with her mother, instead of keeping it as it is through imagining it as horrible and nasty.
May the Goddess bless everyone.
Oh mom! u made me cry at work! :) i love u soooo much and i appreciate everything u do for me. i wish i could do more for u. i wish i lived closer. i love you mom! Casey J
ReplyDeleteLaura what??????????? TWINS? Congrats and please send us a pic. Please!
ReplyDelete11:31:00 AM, sweetie, I'm not a Wiccan. You mean well, but, I need a group blocking spell for that one.
ReplyDeleteDD, you are a sweetheart. What a lovely post, and the picture of your daughter is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry. C is me. I don't know why that happens sometimes.
ReplyDeleteTo the wiccan anon - I think that's a fine idea and I will help you. Blessed be!
ReplyDeleteLove your post DD.
ReplyDeleteI remember as a kid telling my parents I didn't ask to be born when we had issues. They would get really angry and say something to the effect of, just wait until you have kids one day. Well, 2 kids later I still feel the same way, they, like I, did not ask to be born. I am responsible for them and it is my job to try and raise them in such a way that their lives are happy and fulfilling and I don't mean by spoiling them and letting them think that the world revolves around them. I mean loved and appreciated. I don't feel like my parents and many of their generation felt that way. We were like pets or worse...
Such a lovely post, Pat. Made my day seeing the Love from Mother to Daughter and she to you.
