Why the hell I am so nervous is anyone's guess, I suppose its because I know how much hard work, blood, sweat, tears and tantrums we have endured over the past year. I know how much she wants to do well and how happy she will be if she gets the results she wants. I have no training in this type of situation and no clue how to deal with the outcome if it isn't great (fingers crossed and knocking on wood it wont come to that).
She has asked me to come with her instead of going with her friends to open that dreaded envelope and I have told her that I would be honoured to go along as long as she doesn't feel embarrassed to have me there.............Her words to me will stay with me forever "Mum......Of course I want you there. These are your results as much as they are mine. We did this together". The lump in my throat swelled up to the size of an orange as I choked back the tears.
All the time and patience, endless cups of tea, snacks and shopping trips to relax are hopefully going to pay off and we can relax for a couple of weeks before she begins another adventure. Its so strange watching your eldest embark on yet another chapter in her own story book, its like she's turning the pages far too quickly for me to keep up with and I want to scream "STOP"......"WAIT"......."I'M NOT READY FOR YOU TO TURN THE PAGE YET". I know I cant and I just have to speed read or else get left behind in all her exciting plans for the future.So, here we go folks..................Another stage in a Teens life for me to write about, cherish and advise anyone that wants some pre-knowledge about the life cycle of a Teen.
Good luck to all those kids opening that big white envelope on Thursday. And a special Good Luck to my gorgeous daughter who continues to make us proud every day of her life. You are as always the biggest achievement I have ever made.......................Love You xxxx
Beautiful. x

ReplyDeleteGood luck! It feels like yesterday that I was collecting those results myself. I was terrified but needn't have been. I remember crying with relief and just how proud my parents were. I should say it is now over half my life ago lmao.

ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous post Sam, you must be so proud of your daughter. You clearly have a great relationship and however she does I have no doubt that she will always feel encouraged and loved. How did she do by the way?! x
ReplyDeleteI am please to say that she got 5A*, 2 A's and 2 B's. We are all so proud of her we could burst. Xxxx
ReplyDeleteWell done to your daughter!!! fantastic results xx
DeleteAww how lovely. So nice that she wants you by her side at such an important moment in her life - the nerves you feel are inevitable! Our fingers are crossed for you both, good luck.
ReplyDeleteaaw, my brother has just had the same week with his eldest daughter. We're so proud of her too - 4xA*, 3xA and 1xB - looks like we're all celebrating this week #PoCoLo
ReplyDeleteHave just read this with a huge lump in my throat at your daughter's words to you. She'll have had the results by now. I truly hope all her hard work was rewarded. Popping over from #PoCoLo
ReplyDeleteAww so lovely! My son invited me to go and get his AS level results - I think I was more nervous than him! 3 A's (can't get A* at AS level) and we now embark on uni applications. Including Cambridge. Gulp.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you have a great relationship with your daughter- well done!
i do hope the results were what was expected xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous post! What a lovely thing for your daughter to say. Think I missed this when I was on holiday, so I'm grateful to Suzanne for highlighting in her Friday Favourites :)
ReplyDeleteThis all sounds so familiar...my girl got her A level results this summer, and is off to uni soon. Daunting and exciting, and sort of unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely tribute to your daughter. I just read the update in the comments so congratulations too! #PoCoLo
ReplyDeleteI knew after reading this that her results would be in the comments somewhere! She did great - well done! And what a lovely post, I hope my daughter will have the same relationship with me when she gets her results one day. Thank you for linking to PoCoLo x
