The Mommy Ring


This is the ring I got my Mom for her birthday. I learned alot about how life can change, and how strong the Mother-daughter relationship can be despite 30 years of separation. My Mom had her share of demons and had to break her cycle of abusive men and drugs. She's paid her dues and now is such a remarkable women. This summer taught me that it's never too late if you're willing to work on it. I found that she and I are kindred spirits of a sort because we are almost identical in our ways of doing things. None of it learned, but innate. Neither miles nor years have taken that away. The women I was so hard on for so many years is actually a big part of me and who I am. I am glad I found out how much I love and cherish her before it was too late.
Thank you Mom. I love you.

That's a lovely ring and I'm so glad you have discovered how much your mum means to you despite everything life has thrown at both of you. There's nothing worse than living with regret in that respect.

You are a great daughter to her, I'm sure. I love my mom, too. She was our main example of how to go about life.

The older we get, the more we appreciate that, too.

It's good that you can express those feelings, and not close them up. And never is it too late to tell your mom how much you love her.

Peace out.

Very cool. It's wonderful to hear of someone who had the strength of character to break out of a destructive cycle like that. And great that you can appreciate it.
