raise my daughter to believe in herself

i love my daughter so increadibly much… her father past away last june… it was THE hardest thing i ever had to talk to her about… my boyfriend was there to help me get through it, and i was there for her… now that my boyfriend and i are no longer all i have is her… in a way i feel lost.. but all i want is to spend time with her… and she has been my huging post all day… i cant believe how supportive my little 6 year old is.. and i feel so bad to cry in front of her and show her how vurnerable i am right now.. but in a way i think it will help her in the long run.. maybe me showing her that its ok to cry, then eventually getting past the pain will help her in future relationships… at least thats what im hoping for… she truly is my life

fathers day we went swimming at her dads… he told her to jump into the pool.. she was scared at first.. so he threw her in, yes seems harsh, but she was fine.. she got back onto the step, and jumped.. it was a small one but it was a jump.. she said “daddy did u see that one” he said he didn’t so she did it again… this time it was a really big jump… i was so proud of her.. she’s learning to not be afraid of things.. sure it was her father that helped her.. but i had to share… she kept trying til she believed she could.. it was so cute.. the last time she jumped she said “one.. two… three… go!” she makes me so proud to be her mom
