A Mother's Promise to Her Daughter:


Anyone who knows me, knows that my daughter is my entire world. The usual ladder for me is Daughter, Husband, Family, Me. I'm told I should be higher on the list but that rarely actually happens. Last night after going to a couple of stores to look at Christmas items, my daughter did something that not only broke my heart, but made me cry. She walked around the house playfully saying "Mommy? I can't find you. Where are you Mommy? Where did you go?"


By the time she turned and looked at me, my heart was broken and I was staring at her with tears in my eyes. Yes, she was just playing because she knew where I was but it triggered a memory for me. In my heart, I could feel that I must've said that about my own Mother at a very young age. I snatched up my daughter, and told her I would never leave her. That she knew I would always be there, and then I walked away to weep.

Roseanne said in her sitcom "Every parent wants to better their child's life at least 50% more than theirs". I look around at the life we have now and I realized that my way of doing that is not the same as everyone else's. First off, I have to live until my daughter is ten years old. That's the first step in ensuring her life is better than mine was. I don't want her going through what I did because of any bad decisions I make. I don't want her spending her entire life having to fight for something that shouldn't even be a blip on the radar for her. The second thing, is I need to ensure she has an option with college. I plan to start the Gerber college fund soon as I can so that when time comes for her to go to college she doesn't have to fall so deep into debt like I have with loans. 

But must of all, I never want her wondering where I was. I never want her fearing she'll never see me again, or think that she isn't as important as someone else. Olivia, I promise you now that you will never have to worry about me leaving you. I will never disappear, I will never leave. I love you, and I will always be there for you. You are my world, my light, and most of all, my soul.
