“She used to brush my hair, I said, that was so important, it was our mommy daughter bonding time.
I recall the touch of her hand with every brushstroke,
I recall the feeling,
I recall her tenderness,
I recall the way her eyes shone with happiness while doing so,
I recall… No I don’t, it was my wish!I never met my mother, she passed… she is in a different place, a better place I like to think, she never had the chance to brush my hair, but I did feel her hand rubbing my hair through her belly.
Brushing the hair is a symbol although a fact, I had the privilege of brushing my daughters’ hair, it was the satisfaction and a reward for missing that part while performing that action, the role of being a mom. It is precious, meaningful, irreplaceable… it is the mother, it is the hair brushing bond!When did you brush your daughter’s hair last, there is no age limit…”

You’ve left me with a lovely image of mother-daughter time. My own daughter is quite independent. She hasn’t let me touch her hair since she was about 5 years old!
Indeed precious, the hair brushing is as much symbolic as other special moments.
We, mothers, can find many special moments, to replace the moments that soon and fast are becoming growing memories…
Enjoy every moment…
Lovely words tinted with sadness. It has been a while since I last brushed my daughters hair. I doubt they would let me now. đŸ˜‰
I compensate with my gradnson, 4. I seem to be to the only one to brush his hair!
And little granddaughter H. Barely one year-old now. She finally has some hair to brush…
Stay safe.
