My Daughter My Teacher

For Years I Had Been Contemplating On Writing A Book. I Just Could Not Decide What To Write About. Several Ideas Floated Through My Head But Somehow None Of Them Stayed Long Enough. And Then It A Confrontation With My Daughter That Shook Me To The Core. I Decided To Embark On This Difficult Journey Of Remembering In The Hope That I May Spare Some Parents The Pain I Went Through. I Also Wanted To Explore The Idea Of “Unconditional Love.” At First I Did Not Know What These Words Truly Meant; Only That It’S Supposed To Be The Kind Of Love Parents Are Expected To Have For Their Children. It Seemed Easy Enough. After All I Have Always Felt The Call To Motherhood At The Core Of My Being. Just Love Your Child Right? But How? For Someone Who Grew Up Without Any Role Model For A Mother For Someone Forced By Circumstances To Raise Her Child Alone It Can Be Quite A Challenge.
