My daughter has given me a love i thought never existed. She is the most beautiful and precious thing that's ever come into my life. I am lost for words when i think about my feelings for her. Those feelings run so deep they overwhelm me. I love her with all my heart.

Every single mother no matter where she is in the world has feelings like you have just described about your daughter for their child or children. It really is just remarkable. It is such a pure love and so unconditional. I believe that this pure love is the way that our God loves each and everyone of us. It is a love that is everlasting and that hopefully we can pass on to our children.
It is a god given love that surpasses all knowledge and understanding and can only be understood once you become a mother and experience it for yourself. If you do not become a mother then you do not fully grasp the entire gift of this love.
Welcome to parenthood. I hope that it will be as good for you and to you as it has been for me the past 5 years.

your daughter is a lucky girl,,,get back to me when she hits puberty, and i bet you have a few unkind things to say! being a mom in the beginning is a piece of cake. as a matter of fact, i always imagined the hard part was giving birth! not! being able to love your daughter through all of her life as strong as you do now, will somedays be a challenge for you believe it or not. you probly think im an old crazy woman but i bet there are some older moms out there that would agee 100%! good luck to you!

Well that love seems to grow stronger as they get older and become wiser. I love my son more now than when he was two, cause he is so smart and so beyond his years and I marvel that he is like that because of what I teach him. He is my angel in this world and my hope for a better life than I have now.
I am so grateful for mothers that really celebrate the love of the child / children and celebrate it every day... Enjoy her...

Your words are beautiful. And thanks for the welcoming, but i've actually been a mother for the past 4 and a half years. I just felt like posting a message because i'm always full of love for my child :)

Sadly that's not the case. I have met many parents (mum's and dad's) who don't treat their children like they deserve. It is heart breaking to see or hear of children who are mis-treated, abandoned or unloved. All children are beautiful and innocent.

I have to agree with NIKKIWITH. There are so many stories of parents abusing and eveen murdering their own children. It's so sad to know that people are so heartless they don't see the innocence or they just want to take it from their children.
I have also known people that don't care for their children the way they should. I feel that if they can't handle the responsibility, they should let the child be with someone who wants to, but that's another topic. It really saddens me.

oh its so true. but, i also know of children that have murdered their parents! for the most part parenting can be done with your best intentions, and loving them from the firt moment you feel them move in your belly, but how they turn out and the things they can do to suck all of your money with trouble they can get into,,, there is always both sides of the spectrum is what i think.

I guess I feel just the same way you do about my own daughter. She's turning fifteen, and for me, she is my most precious gem. At this point, I probably would go crazy if anything wrong happened to her. Yes, I have two other children, but the sense of protection I have for her has somehow become stronger the day she became a teenager. My two younger kids, they are naturally attached to me. They have that need to be with me all the time. But my teenager, she is in the adolescent stage. The stage where she begins to enjoy the company of other people. Whereas when she was younger, she needed to be by my side all the time, now, it seems, she can do without me. Oh, that's so heartbreaking! I don't know how I really feel. It's a mixed feeling of jealousy and the instinct of worrying that other people might not influence her the right way. She is so precious to me. I do my best to keep an open communication between us and pray that she will grow up with all the values I try to instill in each one of them.

My first born is a girl. She is 7 years old now, and I know what you mean. I have never loved anything like I do her. Don't get me wrong...I love my 4 year old son as well. My daughter changed my whole world, my whole outlook on life. I didn't know tears of joy existed until I met her, and yes...the happiness is overwhelming at times!

Overwhelming is a good word but it's an under statement! I don't think there are actual words that can describe our feelings for our daughters.
