Before I left Texas, my mother gave me the gift of a calendar with these beautiful words to remind me of her love for me, I am now re-gifting them to you.
A mother tries to provide her daughter with insight
Into the important things in life
In order to make her life
as happy and fulfilling as possible
A mother tries to teach her daughter
to be good, always helpful to other people
to be fair, always treating others equally
to have a positive attitude at all times
to always make things right when they are wrong
to know herself well
to know what her talents are
to set goals for herself
to not be afraid of working too hard
to reach her goals
A mother tries to teach her daughter
to have many interest to pursue
to laugh and have fun every day
to appreciate the beauty of nature
to enter into friendships with good people
to honor their friendships and always be a true friend
to appreciate the importance of the family
and to particularly respect and love our elder members
to use her intelligence at all times
to listen to her emotions to adhere to her values…

I’ve never been a mother or a daughter, but I admire the heartfelt quality of your words.
