Every mother-daughter relationship is complex. First you dress them up like dolls, then you're fighting over the way they dress for school. Raising a daughter means learning to let go a little at a time. That way, by the time they are ready to leave the nest, they have all the tools they need to become a strong and responsible woman.
I haven't been perfect, and sometimes I like to hold on a little tighter than I should, but I am proud of the daughter I have raised. You are a beautiful and smart woman, and a wonderful mother to Logan. I love you baby girl. Happy 22nd birthday.
