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 have just finished reading the book and wanted to write in about my mum. We have an amazing relationship and i want her to know how much i love her and am thankful for the friendship and love we share. She listens to me moan, whinge and cry and never judges me. She is there for the laughter, joy and good times and is in every sense my best friend. I often worry about when we will no longer be together in this world but have no doubt that one day we will meet again. I try never too take her for granted and if i do, i am sorry. I hope that if i am lucky enough to have children i will have the kind of relationship she has with me and my brother. For all she has given me i am truly gratefull.
Love You Mum

I love my mum, and I am sure in her way she loves me, but that has always been the problem in her way "she loves me".
We don't acknowledge how it is and even at 49 I still expect her to be the mum I need.
But the one thing I do understand is why she is the way she is and try not to judge when yet again she lets me down.
I love my mum and dread the day she will die.
What would I tell her I am not sure but maybe I would like her just to once acknowledge how it is between us.

I have thought long and hard about what to write here but this week ( is her birthday, mothers day and anniversary!)I felt I had to acknowledge my mum. Sadly I lost my mum 6years ago, 16months after she was told she only had weeks to live, she showed strength to fight her death for as long as she could despite how much pain she was going through so that we could have our mum for that little bit longer. I miss her every day and it does not get easier but I want to thank her for the time I had with her and everything she taught me, I want to tell her all about the lovely man she never got to meet and the beautiful house I have and how proud she should be of my brother and how my dad has finally started to live again but most of all how much I love her and miss her. I hope if I am ever lucky enough to have children that I will be able to show them the love that she showed me and that I can tell them all abnout their lovely Grandma and what an amazingly strong person she was. If you are lucky enough to still have your mum in your life then please enjoy her and never take anything for granted, including the trips to the shops!!xxx

In all my life I never thought I would have three daughters. I always saw myself on the side of a soccer field cheering my son on but lo and behold, life had other plans for me.... and what a life it is with my three beautiful daughters, each different and unique in every way. We try to go away every year as a family and both my husband and I always want our daughters to go with as they make us laugh, they keep us happy and our lives would be empty without them. I am busy reading your book at the moment and can't wait to get to it at the end of every day. You have taught me so many divine words like unconditional and I spend many moments of my day thinking what could I say to my girls in the little smses I send them.
Our relationship with our daughters is very verbal, loud, noisy, irritating, hormonal, up and down, exciting, interesting, loving, comical, stressful, sunny, lively, incomparable, beautiful, i could go on and on...... but would never want it to be anything else.....
