Daughters are special people, lots of things rolled into one. Great big balls or pleasure, just loads and tons of fun.
However, it goes much deeper. She becomes your very best friend. You see parts of yourself in her, and on her you can truely depend.
She knows when you don't feel good, Mom are you all right? She knows when you have a problem, she sees it with her sight.
She knows when you are blue, she makes you crack a smile. She knows when you don't want to talk, she gives you a break for a while.
She knows just what you like, she protects you all the time. If she sees something you don't like, she shapes things back in line.
If you are upset it's all right. She treats you like her best friend. She asks if she can help, she listens to the bitter end.
But still, it goes even further. She begins to teach "you" things. You stand in awe and amazement at this tremendous joy she brings.
You have long talks together, her pride and wisdom show. You know how proud you are. The road was long and sometimes slow.
She goes beyond when she was your bundle of joy, to this wonderfully magical friend. She is your shinning image forever till the very end!
