I have one daughter. Only one, so she has all the responsibilities that those with two or more share. Daughters are for life. Daughters are our memories keeper. Daughters are so like us that it gets scary. Daughters also are so different. Daughters are sometimes the people we wish we were more like them.
This is mine.. Kelly is a July baby.. She is a cancer...if you look up cancer people, she is it. She has been a great goal setter for her family. Her life is family. Her children know the sacrifices she has made so that they may achieve their dreams.
She is the most loving aunt, and both Tory and Alex will attest to this. She is the best step daughter anyone could ask for, my sweetie will attest to this. She is the best daughter, I attest to this.
Thank you for being my daughter.

Okay,I have tears. She too is pretty lucky to have you.
That is sooo sweet, also something that I will never experience...but so glad that you both have an amazing relationship.
she is beautiful...what a great picture
That is so sweet and very touching. I have only one daughter too, and what you said in your first paragraph about sums it up. Very well put!
Very sweet! How wonderful to have such a great relationship with your daughter!
Such a sweet post....tears creeping up in my eye..
awwww, so sweet Nanci!
I am so thankful for the relationship that my mom and I have.
So happy for you and for her!
Yep- got all choked up reading this. And wow your daughter looks like you. You're both very fine looking gals!
Lovely heartfelt post Nanci. Just beautiful.
What a lovely picture, your daughter is very like you isn't she! I didn't get a daughter, got two sons instead. Didn't have a sister either, I have two younger brothers. Seems I have spent all my life surrounded by small boys......
Terrific picture... I should go call my Mom. 8)
Happy quilting,

That's a great photo. How wonderful that you have such a great relationship. With a teenage daughter..........I'm hoping once we get over this tiny little hurdle, we will have a really lovely relationship.
So happy for both of you.
Nanci,

What a beautiful tribute to your daughter.
Aww, a beautiful favorite thing. Thanks for sharing her with us.
I am not a mother, but am a daughter and it was great to read this thoughtful post today.
It is absolutely wonderful that a mother can feel and say honestly how much she respects, loves and understands her daughter.
You are a humbled mother to raise a daughter that you can say these things with such conviction and let the world know.
It is nice to know what your mother thinks once in a while, from another only daughter.
Lovely post, lovely family, you two make a great pair.
Well I am all teary eyed too but not so much for the words my Mom says of me but b/c I am thinking about what a truly wonderful Mother she is...and how she has supported me through some tough times but b/c I know she always is holding my hand, I can do anything.
Honestly, from the time I was a little girl mu heart has been filled with an enormous love for my mom...I used to chew my 1/2 stick of gum all day long just b/c my Mom gave it to me!!!
When she pops in for a visit she usually has a little s/thg to give me, whether its a great book or to taste s/thg she made...although I keep waiting for my butter tart fix, as my Mom makes the BEST in the World, hands down.
I am happy to day b/c the girls in our fam are getting together to see Poppa, a surprise I hear, and have a gab session over Mom's homemade pizza.
I don't believe I could ever do enough for my Mom to pay her back for all the has given/done/taught me in my life.
She is a great role model for Mother-Daughter relationships and I can thank her for the one I have with my sweet Courtney.
I love you Momxox
Your daughter is beautiful!! I wish I had one of those....I'll just settle for my loving son :0)

What a lovely post. Alas I have no children but I do have a wonderful Mother whom I love very much and it sounds as though we have a similar relationship. I will cherish it forever.
Beautiful! Such a lovely photo of you two as well. You are lucky to have her :-)
Wow, I've never seen a mother-daughter team look THAT much alike. You look great!
Cheers,
Christine
Both of you look so much alike and that is a great pic of you two. So glad that you have a wonderful relationship!

Sweet and true. As a mom of 7 daughters I say ditto.
