I wonder what it means, really, coming of age? My little daughter, the very one who had a near death experience right along with me when she was born, turned 16 today and guess what? she was sad. I said why hun? she said I dont want to get bigger and have to do all those difficult things like go out with boys, get married, and have kids....I said hey, give yourself a chance....
I wonder what coming of age means to you all? it means sadness to her.....
Love and Light

Awww Lizzie,
Bless her little heart, I bet you just wanted to gather her up in your arms, give her a big hug and just protect her from that big, big world out there.
All you can do sweetheart is tell her about all the exciting things that growing up has in store for her, and that you and her Dad will be there for her every step of the way, advising her and encouraging her, until she is ready to spread her wings and fly solo. How refreshing in this day and age to find a young women, who doesn't want to madly bite the world on the bum and get stuck into everything at 100 miles per hour. She is a treasure a little jewel. The world will be her oyster, but only when she is good and ready.
My sixteenth birthday was celebrated at a Dinner dance where I got to wear a long dress for the first time. I sound ancient don't I. But it was a brilliant day, mind you, I nearly broke my back when my friend Adam decided to copy a dance move that involved lifting me in the air, then tipping me backwards, before he intended to pull me thru his legs. Well, he dropped me!!!! Good job my bum had plenty of cushioning, god how embarrassing and how hilariously funny at the same time. It was a gypsy dress and I felt a million dollars in it. My mum bought me a silver rose ring. I will never forget it and they played sweet sixteen by Neil Sedaka. It was a happy day, and when I think of it, I remember my Mum with much love. So thank you for that Lizzie, it was a rare day for Mum and I in those days, thank you for helping me to remember it.
Happy 16th Birthday, Nadia..
Lots of love
Karen

My little Karen, you are so sweet, and I am so glad I helped you to remember something wonderful....it is such a nice feeling, isnt it....my little girl I just tucked up in bed and she gave me an extra big hug and said "thank you mummy for a lovely day" - we had a wonderful birthday cake with 9 candles, and as she blew them all out I told her we didnt put on 16 because she would always be our "little" girl....which is true. My friend bought her some make-up for her birthday - was I wrong to hide that and not give it to her yet...she just isnt interested in that, and I dont think she is ready - do you think I am being over-protective? I think I will know when she is ready, and then I will give it to her....
thank you for your love, Karen
Love and Light
Lizzie xx
