“When I was a boy of 14,my father was so ignorant (无知的) that I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in 7 years. “—Mark Twain
My 23-year-old daughter and I are the female version of the above quote. When I left her father about 12 years ago she chose to stay with him. Her father was quite angry at our breakup and so was my daughter. She exactly had nothing to do with me for about 5 years, no contact, no presents to me, no overnight stays. It broke my heart.
Now she works near my home. She has often slept on the sofa in my home and I so love this.
Last week I turned my study into a bedroom for her. Today a new bed and mattress(床垫) arrived and I went to Belfast to buy quilts, pillows, cushions, curtains, lampshade etc to make this into the room my daughter should have had in my home 12 years ago. She has really loved being able to input into this room for her and I have really loved creating a little special personal space for her in my home.
In the end, l worked it out but I can tell you I really learned so much by way of practicing patience in those painful early days.
I hope my little daughter who is now a young 23-year-old woman never distances herself from me again, no child should be without a Mother’s love.
