20Dear Mom, I get it now.
Fess up, daughters: how many times did you freak out on your mom growing up because she wouldn’t let you do some stupid thing, or grounded you for doing some stupid thing, or accused her of being stupid or not understanding? Probably a whole lot. How many times did she tell you, “You’ll understand when you’re older,” and how many times did that drive you nuts? Many times, every time. And now you’re older, and you totally get it. Oh, dear daughters of the world, this is one your mom has been waiting to hear for a long time. Tell her.
21Mom: a title just above queen.
Enough said!
22A mother is she who can take the place of all others but whose place no one else can take.
Your mom is your caretaker, your teacher, your friend, your confidant, and so much more. She’s there for you in every way, for your every need, and she occupies a very special place in your life. But no one else can be your mom.
23When life gets hard and you feel all alone, remember you mean the world to somebody, and that somebody calls you mom.
Daughters, it’s true: the most amazing woman in the world, your mom, feels bad about herself sometimes. Hard to believe, isn’t it? When she does, remind her of this.
24I constantly go between wanting you to be my baby forever, and being excited about all the amazing things you’ll do in this life.
This must be hard. They say time flies and that parents should treasure every moment of their child’s early years because they’ll be gone in a flash, but there’s os much to look forward to. Moms: your daughters are gonna be awesome.
25You are loved for the little girl you were, for the special woman you are, and the precious daughter you will always be.
And in the same vein, no matter how she changes, what sort of person she becomes, one thing is permanent: she’s your daughter.
26I want my daughter to grow up to be a strong woman. I just need to be able to live with her in the meantime.
I’m convinced my mom said this. I’m positive. Sorry, Mama Jessica. But thanks for putting up with me so I could be such a strong, self-reliant woman.
27There will be so many times you feel like you’ve failed. But in the eyes, heart, and mind of your child, you are Super Mom.
Moms everywhere: you’re superheroes, every last one of you, despite anything you think is a shortcoming, despite anything you could have done better. Even Superman had his kryptonite.
28Life is tough my darling, but so are you.
-Stephanie Bennett-Henry
Your daughter will need to be reminded of this many, many times. Growing up is a process, a hard one, and now that you’ve made it through and had a child of your own, remind her as often as you can that she’ll get through it.
29Her laughter is infection. Her smile always makes me shed a tear. Her heart is true and pure. But what I cherish most is that she is my daughter.
Your daughter is the coolest, most awesome girl ever, and you get to take some credit for that. Good deal.
30I never want her to think that the whole world revolves around her. But I want her to know, without a doubt, that my whole world does.
It’s a delicate balance, for someone to be humble and grounded but also know she is, without a doubt, loved to the moon and back. It’s one you definitely want to strike in raising your daughter, and moms, I know you’re all up to the task.
31My little girl yesterday, my friend today, my daughter forever.
Isn’t it awesome that your daughter turns into a woman you get to call a dear friend? Dear friend though she may be, she’s always going to be something more than anyone else in your life: your daughter.
32Never make fun of having to help me with computer stuff. I taught you how to use a spoon.
Just in case your daughter needs a little reality check and a hand as she gets off her high horse.
33Though she be but little, she is fierce.
-William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Your daughter, from the time she learns to walk and talk, will be a mighty little thing in a tiny package, thanks to you.
34Life doesn’t come with a manual. It comes with a mother.
And it’s a good thing life doesn’t come from a manual, because when was the last time you actually consulted a manual? Never. You consulted your mom, on everything from how to tweeze your eyebrows to how to put together the furniture you got for your first big-girl apartment.
35Whatever else is unsure in this stinking dunghill of a world, a mother’s love is not.
-James Joyce, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
Ending this list on a classy note (because I’m a book nerd and say what you will, he’s one of the greatest writers ever to work in the English language). Indelicate words, but like a mother’s love, definitely true and sure and timeless and undeniable.
