"I am your mother. I am not your friend." I wonder how many times I've said that to my sweet girls. And maybe at the time I meant it. Yes, I'm sure I did mean it. They were little girls and they are, after all, 26 and 29 years younger than I am. I was the mother and I was in charge. I wanted them to be respectful of me and of other people as they ventured out into the world.
And now, ironically, THEY are 26 and 29....the ages I was when I had them. And yes, you guessed it. They are my friends. Of course they are my daughters, and they always will be. My live baby dolls I had dreamed of since I was a little girl. They were my greatest joys and my biggest blessings. Always have been, always will be. But now.... "Always Your Mother....Now Also Your Friend."
