What have you learned?

[WingsOnFire]

conversations via text are not something I should have when the subject makes me frustrated. I fully admit this form of communication does not work well for me. But I have yet to learn that lesson fully yet.

Must learn to stop before I get frustrated.

I have learned that loving means letting go of any attachment to any agenda, that saying that I will love someone as they are means that I love all aspects of them, and that even though it did not work out, love remains.

I have learned that I really do, wish her happiness, I wish her peace.

I have learned that beautiful memories are priceless. I have learned that endings do not have to be negative, sometimes they just mean that a new beginning is on the road ahead, and that the lessons learned along the way, are all a part of loving someone.

I have learned to be grateful for all of the gifts that each new chapter in my life has brought to me.

I have learned...and I have learned.

Inquiring minds want to know, and I like giving the information.

i have learned that while i do not agree with the choices my 16 year old daughter has made, i 'can' make my own choices that will reflect on a healthier mindset in terms of the choices she has made.
i have also learned that it's important to me to keep her close, so that she keeps in touch with me and so i know she is safe. That arguing with her only brings stress on her and myself, and that i will do my very best to help her make positive choices when given the chance.

What is important to me, right now, is that she makes safe choices, and that if she should choose to find her way to go back to school, to come back home, and to her loving family that worry sick about her, We're here..

But the phone calls to check in each night and say she's okay and loves me, means too much for me to push her away.. i believe she needs me more than ever to be in her corner.. And while i 'can' be that, i will not allow her to steal, be disrespectful, or break rules.

i have learned, its okay to respect myself, to have feelings & believe one day she will understand that i love the hell out of her, and this isn't easy on me..but i also recognize this isn't easy on her.. She'll come to me.. in the meantime, i worry every day, i always want to hear from her, and i'll always hope for her finding her way, to happiness, success & safety..
