Mothers and Daughters

The day that Queen B was born, and the doctor laid her on my chest, I envisioned the type of relationship that I wanted to have with her; that vision included a true friendship once she was old enough to require less "parenting" and more mature nurturing. I'm so thankful to say that we have that kind of relationship now that she is an adult.

Oh, don't get me wrong, we definitely went through the typical adolescent angst to get  here, but, here we are, nonetheless,

This weekend, Queen B came down to spend the weekend with me while her father was away at yet another officiating assignment. We spent the majority of Saturday in pursuits dear to both of our hearts-shopping, eating, having our feet pampered, and enjoying a play at the community theater.

I can't think of a way that I would have rather spent the day, and, we topped it off with a sleep-over, girlfriend-style.

I am so blessed to have these moments with my first-born; they are everything I envisioned and more and I could not be more grateful.
