Reneé Dwyer

I am the mother of a teenager

I wonder what she thinks and how she thinks

I hear her adorable little voice speak her mind and her opinions

I see so much of myself in her while a different, more amazing person shines as well

I want to giver her everything I can, every opportunity, lesson, activity, and anything else she desires

I am a loving, caring mother for such a special little girl

I pretend not to care about her little infatuation

I feel the overwhelming love they show for each other

I touch her cute little face and remember all the fun times we shared

I worry if she is unhappy or upset with herself right now

I cry in happiness at her readiness to go out and really experience all the things life offers

I am ready to let go of my baby, but I still want to hold on

I understand how she feels: so in love with a young man, ready to spend her life with him

I say my daughter has always known what she is doing and is smart enough to make her own choices

I dream of her happiness with life

I try to teach her my mistakes so she does not make the same ones

I hope Edward will take care of her – I have no doubt in their love

I am proud to be the mother of such a smart and perfect daughter
