Favorite gifts from your mom December 23, 2009

The last Christmas my mom was alive, she gave me and each of my five siblings a big photo album (mine was a beautiful red). Inside were pictures from growing up in Dallas as one of six children, one of Mom holding me as a baby, group photos of us at birthday parties, Easter, and a myriad of other special occasions like my wedding and the birth of our babies. What a gift! We had no idea that just a few months later Mom would be diagnosed with inoperable, terminal cancer. I still have that photo album with the personal note she wrote me on the inside cover, about what a joy I was as a daughter and how she’d loved being my mom. When I look through the album, scores of memories come flooding in; how grateful I am for the gift of my mom and the gifts she gave me growing up–especially this one.

What is the favorite, most memorable gift or gifts your mom ever gave you at Christmas? Send us your story or response and we’ll publish the best ones !

Welcome here. July 19, 2009

We mothers are learning to mark our
mothering success by our daughters’
lengthening flight.
~ Letty Cottin Pogrebin

Welcome to a place to have conversations about being a mother, a daughter, and both.  We are here to share our experience both in life and in writing a book together on this complex but potentially incomparable relationship on the subject of the mother and adult daughter relationship.  We hope it provides hope, comfort, comic relief, and honesty to apply to your own relationships.  We want to hear from all different mothers and daughters, hear your stories as you will hear ours.  Together we can bridge the gaps that so often keep us women in different generations from truly loving and supporting each other in life.  Cheri Fuller is the mother, Ali Plum the daughter.  We have weathered storms, together and apart, and found the most hope and strength through forgiveness and acceptance- no matter where we are at in life.  This is the beginning of this part of our journey- and that is to share the journey with you and ask you to share yours with us.
