What would you like to tell your daughter? What do you wish you could tell – or have told – your mother before it's too late? What do your friendships mean to you? Is there a particular friend who's brought you back from the brink?
So, please use this site to say whatever you need. You might want to share advice on how to deal with relationships; you might want to offer up a personal insight; you might simply want to tell us how much you love your mother or daughter or friend; and you might want to share words of wisdom for future generations of women.
I just wanted to say I have two beautiful girls. I love them more than they will ever realise and I love being a Mum. They have made my life. I hope they are happy with their choices and I miss them so much. I cry a lot about them growing up and moving on but each part of their life is new and exciting. I love you LJ and I love you Amy Victoria. You two, apart from your Dad of course, just made me everything I am today and as I said earlier all I ever wanted to be was a Mum and you have me such a proud one.

I would like to tell my daughters that they are so loved and always will be I want you to live your lives to the full, never be afraid of what life throws at you but accept it as a challenge. I want you to love, respect and accept each other, you are so different from each other but you also need each other, you are like chalk and cheese but you also compliment one another. I am so very proud of you both and I never tell you enough how much, you only have to see my face when you sing in concerts, I could burst with pride!
I want you both to go out into the world and shake it to its very core, you are the next generation and you can both make a difference. I LOVE YOU,LOVE MUM xxx

A mother's love is unconditional. That is stating the obvious I know, but sometimes we need to have the message reinforced. Do you tell your mother, if she is still alive, that you love her? Spontaneously, with no hidden agenda, just because you want her to know? If not, you should. You shouldn't need the card industry to tell you you ought to make a fuss of your mother, tell her you love her and so on, you will hopefully feel it and do it without anyone prompting. I did, and often, and I am so glad I did because she died suddenly, aged just 50, thirty-odd years ago. I miss her still.
She only ever offered advice if I asked for it, but she was always there for me, always on my side, and there were times I deeply regret, times when I know I let her down, things I should have told her, but didn't because I knew they would hurt her. Which was strange, as we talked all the time, about everything, she was one of my best friends. I miss her.
