DAUGHTER

Two daughters can be  myriad. There are times when they keep me busy all the time. They nag to buy new stuff and complain of not having this and that. But that occur when they were teenagers. As they grow older each has taken their own paths. The problems remain but I call them new problems.
One of them has always picked a person that gains my disapproval. Of course what I think of her partner is not important for I am not the one who is going to share my life with him. But I cannot help myself from being overloaded by her problems for she drags me into it. There was a time when that man has to pay for his irresponsible games and my daughter dragged me into it. The time when they broke up was a big relief for me. I thought my problem was over, but I was wrong.
She brought home a new friend from her work and claimed that he was just a friend. I dont care if he is married or single for they are just colleagues. As time goes by I notice a change. There are moments in which I caught them as more than just friends. This fact is provoking for I believe that is inappropriate. I cannot interfere with her life for she insists it was not as what I thought.  She quit her job, I think I know why,  and become financially dependent on me. She brought a lot of sorrows into me. I just wonder how she is going to lead her life when I cease to exist.
My other daughter has never been a problem to me. She took care of herself well. She has always been busy with her life and allow me to say that they all contribute to her success. She decides what to do and responsible for any actions she takes. I feel unfair to say I am happy with how she leads her life for it implies my unhappiness with my other daughter.
My daughter has never brought anyone home. There was a time when she took someone home but that was the only time. I have never seen that man again. She has best friends around her and are comfortable with them, but none of them looks special to me. I have no reason to complain for again this is her life.
I thank God for having both. I love them both, each occupies a different space in my heart.
