I have been blogging for a little while now and although my mom knew she had not read it. She does know about me.
She had recently bought a lap top and is busy discovering the internet in earnest. So I took a chance and emailed her the link to my blog.
The other day at work I received a reply, with trepidation I read it then began to cry.
I hope she does not mind but here is part of the message:
"I cannot imagine how much turmoil you must have been in, and still are, but giving voice, however one does it, is so important … I struggled along with your anger and frustration in one blog and wished I could have helped, so have cried and empathized along with you, as well as admiring the photos. I would be proud to introduce you as my daughter".
I will treasure these words forever.
Thanks Mom
Hugs,
April
Yes, treasure them! This is wonderful, and I hope she proves a tower of strength to you.
ReplyDeleteMy Mum didn't feel that this, and died on me without even wanting to discuss how I felt about myself. Never mind.

That's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteMy mother hasn't read my blog yet. I hope she does in time. I too feel fortunate that she's been supportive.
