I wanted to comment on this letter, because it hit all the right notes, w/o being too schmaltzy. You communicated your trust in your daughter, that you not only love her as any mother does, but like and respect her as a person and have total confidence in her. Then you also communicated that you're vulnerable, a person trying her best to be a good mother, who makes - and made - mistakes. And you reminded her of your great relationship too! All such important messages for her. I hope she received the letter in the spirit in which you gave it to her. Switching to my perspective as a daughter, I would have been amazed to get a letter like that from my mother.
🙏❤ That's what I hoped to communicate and I have to believe that she feels the energy I want to convey. We seem to be in a good place, so I feel pretty confident. Thank you so much for this comment!
That is beautiful. You've said so much that is in my heart and head with one exception. I am an adoptive mother. This child of mine was born in my heart and in my head. Before we were "matched" with her (she is from China) I already saw her face. She was mine. I cannot describe the feeling I had when they placed her in my arms. That we were FINALLY together. So I would rewrite as "I will always love you beyond what it is possible for you to understand, beyond what is possible for anyone who has first met and held their child to understand."
Thank you for sharing this comment! As mothers with such different experiences in meeting our children, I find it beautiful that we can come to such similar places. 🙏❤
