Dear Mikaela,
I am writing this post because I know that we will come to this point that I have to accept that you're a grown up child now. Now, I can't imagine having you in my tummy for nine months creating my life challenges and bring you from that day, learning to accept responsibilities and affirming that I can give you all your needs as a parent.

Everything changes for good and something amazing as soon I held you in my arms. The hardest but yet the most beautiful, that my heart could hardly hold the excitement. It was strange, I thought it's not real but I had dreamed this for so long. Waiting and preparing and finally you're here, everything just PERFECT! You did not give me a hard time to give birth, my water broke down and my contraction are in full force.
I can still recall my eutopian experience. It was all just happening so fast and I never felt the pain during labor.
Same as fast that you no longer my little girl. I still have the glimpsed of you playing with your dolls and when you get excited when I come home from work.
Sometimes I'm jealous the way you get to giggle with the small freebies I give you from Jollibee.
We've been to a rough relationship that is not that great. We weren't that close but your still there to stand by me as a big girl that is full of love and compassion and I
want you to know that I am blessed to have you.
I want to keep our communication line open. I know we're not the same era, you are more intelligent, observant, and insightful because of the new technologies that you've learned from school or on the internet.
But I want you to trust me, we have to learn to trust each other in the same way in dealing things. I do know that RESPECT, COMPASSION and EMPATHY help a bit in most of a mother- daughter relationship.
I am not a perfect mother, nor do I aspire to be. I don't want to put myself in a pedestal claiming that I am a good mother to you. I am not perfect.
I know that you are a responsible person. I know that you love your sister so dearly, though sometimes you have differences you're still there to protect her. You are the only people that I have now, the precious gifts that God given to me.
You're turning 14 and becoming an amazing young lady. I love you so much Ate Mikay always have that lovely smile. Always have that patience to me and your Mama Lola.
Hoping for a fantastic day tomorrow in school. I know your friends have a surprised gift for you.

It's still important to listen without over-reacting.
