There’s a tremendous bond between mother and daughter, something unmatched by fathers and sons, or even mixed-sex parental relationships. You can see it just from the way they interact.
As a male, I’ll probably never be able to fully understand, but being able to recognize it and knowing that such a wonderful thing still exists is enough to make me feel as if the world is in the right place.
A couple more pictures behind the cut.
wow, that’s a lucky pair of people. I’ve only ever met a few daughters and moms who enjoy each other’s company.
Mine was somewhat pendulant between this (isolated occasions) and just wanting to strangle my mother most of the time.
On the glass half empty side, remember this is a YOUNG daughter. Just wait!
On the half full side, they do grow past even that when things are good in their childhood. Sure envy people like that.
@Pearl — Really? I would have thought it was a somewhat natural relationship. I don’t have much experience about this myself.
@Xibbe — I hear lots of things about the “terrible teens”, most of it true, but I think Sarah will be an exception. Louise is a generous, kind, patient, and appreciative mother, and it shows in the way Sarah acts right now.
Hey … I was just procrastinating and looking at your photos Jeff (they are so nice) … is this Kerry?! If so — Kerry was a proff of mine at Algonquin.
Again — great photos! I would love to have some more of Mark and I … if you ever want to take them … I think I can pursuade Mark to go along — if I promise kisses :p
Hey Jen, this is actually Louise, one of my co-workers. Maybe she knows a Kerry who looks just like her though…I’ll have to ask. :)
