I think the best compliment I have gotton was that I looked like my mother. Now my Mother will say that she isn’t pretty and that I look more like her sister then her. I agree with my mom, she isn’t a
startlimg beauty. She by herself might not make you stop and stare, only when we were little and we followed her through the store did anyone stop, stare, and say anything. She is a beautiful in her own special God given way. But beauty is one, in the eye of the beholder. Secondly, beauty isn’t always manifested in physical looks, but also in actions, thoughts and words. My Mom no matter how many times we(I) tested her patience and made her wish to tear her hair out loved us and taught us to be good and to try our best. She always knows when we need, and want, a hug, or some incouraging words. Since as long as I can remember she has being trying to lose weight and keep it down. Trust me, the way she cooks, that can be very hard.This has taught us to keep going even when it is tough and also the value of giving up something we like. She has always tried to show us a good example and help us with what ever, even if she rather be reading a book or working on something of her own. The amount of times I have had to ask her questions that I should know the answers to are countless. All in all my mom is extremely beautiful. She is beautiful physically with her wonderful smile and her understanding eyes. She is even more beautiful inside with her large heart, and her intelligent mind. So I am very happy to be told I look like her, I just hope that it goes beyond just physical looks.

Awesome!!
How are you feeling? Been wondering about you.
I hope you have that printed and save it always. That is priceless. You must be a good mom, as well as having a good daughter.
@ata_grandma - I don’t know about a good mom but I have a priceless daughter.
Like I’ve said before, you have been very blessed in your husband and also with your children! I keep hearing from people, enjoy your kids now while their young because some day they’ll become teenagers. It seems this is something that you’ve never had to worry about. Your kids are proud to be your children.
That is beautiful! What amazing women you both are.
@whteroses - You don’t listen to “what people say about teenagers” your children are what you make of them. I won’t say that there aren’t difficult times and that we don’t have differences. We are different people and they are being raised to be independant of us. But they are all striving to be true to what they were taught and they love their father and I because they have been taught to love. They love each other also because they were taught that love is first in the home with those who are your true friends. Your family loves you warts and faults and all. They don’t walk away from you when you err. Very often those who are outside your family do walk away when times get difficult or you do or say something that is shocking or against what you believe. Family doesn’t. We love our children no matter what and they know that.
like mother, like daughter.
Oh my that made me cry! What a sweetheart!
Need to frame this and hang it where all can see…..it will also remind her when she is ticked off at you for something ….how she really feels about you and visa versa.
@TheSunnyC - good idea…..except that she rarely gets ticked off at me for anything anymore. we have a good relationship where we talk to each other and share with each other. although I never believed in it much before, now that she is pretty much on her own we could even be called friends though she does consult me as a daughter should a mother and I do correct her as a mother should when need be.
