Full Circle Moment..........
I consider my children to be like precious jewels, priceless and multi faceted. Its funny how things come full circle. You care and raise your children to be the very best people that they can you teach them compassion honesty and to treat others how they themselves would want to be treated. I am so very proud of who my children have become. It goes without saying my babies are my entire world.
My first born baby Danicka is nearly 20 years old it blows my mind how quickly time passes. How her personality and quirks as a baby have remained and followed her into adulthood.
I see so much of my self in her, all the good and a little of the funny things that make us apart of one another.
In other words some of the things that aren't to be put on your resume are there also.
I speak to her a few times a week and miss her like crazy.
I spoke to said child this morning filling her in on my specialist appointment and my last few days. I was running through test results and the goings on around here when she interrupted and said with a tone I haven't heard before. She said very firmly "MUM" I hope your looking after your self? I was totally caught off guard and said yes yes I am don't worry. Mmmm silence at the recognition of our role reversal. It seemed really strange and we both burst out laughing at her mothering tone towards her mumma. She has taken on the nurturing roll as easily as one slips into their slippers she is and always will be my most precious Jewel.
These are just a few snaps of the many faces of my multi faceted Jewel. She has no computer at the moment so she cant get cranky at her funny faces and say Awww mum did you have to?
She really does have great teeth Huh?

She is beautiful Shaz, just like her mum. How could she not be caring with you as a role model?
Take care sweet lady. Hope your health is improving.
Gorgeous girl just like her gorgeous mom. Our children truly are the jewels of our life. Looking forward to catching up on the doc appt & test results. Much love sweet sistah, deb
What a lovely post about your daughter! I couldn't agree more - our children are precious jewels. Thank you for visiting my blog and all your kind comments :-)
You have beautiful children. The role reversal is something my daughter and I have encountered. It seems so strange yet very hilarious when they step into our nurturing roles.
Oh Shaz, thanks for sharing your daugher with us. What a beautiful girl....and what a sweet heart to want to care for "mum". Let her Shaz. So interesting when that role begins to change and our children look after us. You must have been a good example to her.
Loving you this morning.
By the way....I did it...and my hair is really really short..but I love it.
shaz, she's just beeeeeeyuuuuuutiful!!

What a beautiful post and a beautiful daughter :-) I have two sons, both of whom I am very proud. When you get a hug from a giant you have raised .... Love wins!
And are you taking care of yourself? I sure hope so.
I'm all teary.......
Like you, I look at my daughter and see so much of me.....quirks and all! And like your daughter, mine was born to be a nurturer and a caregiver....it is like slipping one's feet into slippers....I know exactly what you mean.
Your daughter is a gem, Shaz.....nutured and loved to bits by another gem...... :)
I'm so sorry you've been so sick....I just caught up with your posts......you write such heartfelt honest thoughts. It makes me want to grab the next plane and head to Oz to hug you and to have a good gabfest......and to help!!
Know that I think of you often and send you healing messages from my heart to yours.
take care.......
She is lovely (and so are her teeth)...this post I appreciated because I am so involved in the daily grind with smaller children that I forget the over-arching picture...
Wow, Shaz what a gorgeous daughter you have. Isn't is something..when that role reversal happens, if only for a split second. So beautiful...so I hope you are taking her advice...
and by the way, thanks for your consistent visits and comments on my boards.. It's always nice to see you have stopped by.

Your daughter is beautiful. I remind my daughter quite often that parents are on this earth to embarrass their children! She just rolls her eyes and walks away from me.
Thank you for the kind words on my blog!
