As women with daughters I feel that we carry an obligation to teach our little ladies how to love, how to be a classy woman...and how to carry ourselves in a graceful manner. I am so far from the greatest Mother or woman that it is absolutely crazy...I do not think I can even see the line where the greatest Mother/woman would stand...I'm that far behind, but, I do have a heart that so desires to teach my little daughter what it means to love deeply, give as much as possible, and to carry herself with grace and dignity.
Our little girls learn from everything we do, we are the main female influence they will have each day of their lives while they are with us, and I feel we should make the most of those molding days that are given to us. I want Natalie to be a successful, HAPPY, loved, and confident girl. I want her to never doubt where she comes from, her faith, and that this family loves her deeply...that I, as her Mother, will always be here for her. Each day I hope I demonstrate to her how to be kind, and how to help others when they need it. I want Natalie to think her Mother is a wonderful woman. I want Natalie to be proud to call me "Mom."
I look at her now, and I think of years down the road...she will be going to college, she will date, and she will one day marry. I just want her to make good, sound decisions..I want Miss Natalie to marry someone who loves her...who will place her on a pedestal and treat her so well.
I think all of these aspirations for my daughter will come true, but, it is my job....as her female influence to show her that she is worthy of those things...she is strong enough to aspire to have those things, and I will be there 100% of the way. I cannot carry my little daughter through everything, and since I cannot do that I need to show her that as women we can carry ourselves with grace, with dignity...we can do it.
I also think it is healthy for our daughters to see us struggle a bit too. Natalie needs to see that I am not Wonder Woman...that I fall short...and that I too can be broken, BUT, I also want her to see that I can still persevere, I won't stay down for long...and that I can still put one foot ahead of the other. I want Natalie to see that strength in me.
I want my daughter to see so much life coursing through my veins, I want her to see passion in me, and so much drive. That is so important in my mind. I refuse to be a woman that just "makes it" day-in-and-day-out. I want to show this little girl that I have a purpose, I have dreams, ambitions, goals, faith, and so much love. I want to be the best woman I can for everyone, but, I want my daughter to see a strength in me that is admirable.
