Why a daughter needs a mom

I have the book that I gave Mom a few years ago for Mother's Day. It's titled 100 reasons Why a Daughter Needs a Mom. I went through and put a star next to my favorite reasons for her. A daughter needs a mom:

Who is never more than a phone call away.

To tell her not to be afraid to seize the moment.

To tell her the road to happiness is not always straight.

To teach her to laugh at herself.

To show her how to use humor to lighten heavy loads.

To tell her not to let pride get in the way of forgiving someone.

To love her for who she is.

To show her how to love someone with all her heart.

To show her the comfort of a warm embrace. (XXOO)

To listen closely to what troubles her.

To teach her that she is responsible for her own happiness.

To teach her to not let a good day slip from her fingers.

Because without her she will have less in her life than she deserves.
