letter to my mother
>Dear Mom,
>
>I've realized how much I miss you. I know I'm less tense living on my
>own, but I also miss your company.
>
>I know the piercings and hair colour are a big change, and probably
>quite strange for you. What I want to ask you is this: please look
>past the lifestyle. Please get to know me on another level.
>
>I want to show you who I am as a human being. Not where I hang out and
>what I do in my spare time, but who I really am. I don't let too many
>people close to me for fear that I may get hurt, or they may get hurt.
>But I want you to see my thoughts and feelings.
>
>Despite the fact that I'm your daughter, I would also like to get to
>know you as a friend. I'm growing up now, and I want you to teach me
>those things I need to know as an adult. I guess what I'm asking is
>for us to be more open with each other as equals. To get together over
>coffee (tea?) and talk about what's happening in our lives.
>
>I want to learn from you as a friend, and see what you're like as not
>my mother, but someone on the same level as me.
>
>Love always,
>K.
you are a treasure...
can I adopt you? [g]
seriously... I am proud to know someone like you and you are growing so beautifully... your honesty - your candor - this is a gift and I hope you surround yourself with people who truly treasure such a gift as you... for many will fear, or try to take advantage of, or try to over-protect and inadvertently control you openness at times... reach for the stars with your feet on the ground... and when you fly, fly on your own wings... don't be afraid to gently pull away from anyone trying to hold you down, while still listening to their words for they may have some great lesson to share behind their fears... you are not responsible for their pain or weakness or doubts, so don't take them on your shoulders and make them your own... the path to yourself is the only one you should follow...
and give of your love, for that is the best you can do and be... whether others take from your gifts or not does not diminish you... focus on your intentions and remember that is where your strength is found...
this is what I believe, may it help you as you grow...
honest love, ric

Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me -
Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be."
