I love my daughter. She is mine, wholeheartedly. And somehow, I knew that she was in life for me, as I was for her.
In my life review, I know some things will not be the way that I wanted them. I wished for a good marriage. That did not happen in my lifetime. But having a daughter is different. That is a best case scenario out of a bad marriage. That was the wish that came true.
Emma, she is so my daughter. She looks somewhat like me, she acts like me, she even takes responsibility like I do. She feels like my long lost little soul mate. And she is - in many ways. My mother once took a picture of me as a child on the Jersey Shore. I was on a blanket, holding a bottle of Coppertone tanning lotion, and attempting to pick the sand out of my toes. When I first took Emma to the beach, I was there with her alone. I showed her the ocean, and I placed her on a blanket. She picked up the bottle of Coppertone, and attempted to take the sand off her toes. So, I have the same picture of her as there was of me. She is my little mini me. And that is why I can tell you that after being a Medium, a mom and a life history teacher, that I am the perfect choice to be her mother. She and I simple get each other.
To Emma: You will have times in your life that do not make sense. There will be days that you feel that you never deserved to be treated so poorly. You will fight - because to fight is to stay alive. But even if your life turns out to be one challenge after another, as mine did, know that you have a gift. Something in your life will make sense. Perhaps it will be your own child. A son or a daughter that looks up to you with love from the day that he or she in in your arms. This is the reason to keep fighting. To win the battle against the time you want to quit and go home to Heaven early. No one should ever call you bad, including you. You always deserve respect. You have made it this far, so keep going. Live and love, and respect you as I do.
Someday, Emma I will pass on into Heaven. And I will still live to see you each day, so that I could feel your heartbeat. Strong and confident, I will support you. And when you have a child, you will do as I did, becoming the one that was caring for you for years to come.
Nothing was able to break me.
And nothing will ever break you, either.
Love, Mom
