8. “A daughter is a mother's gender partner, her closest ally in the family
confederacy, an extension of herself. And mothers are their daughters' role
model, their biological and emotional road map, the arbiter of all their
relationships.” ~ Victoria Secunda
Good evening ladies and gentlemen. My name is Josefina Martinez. I want
to thank you for coming tonight to help honor the person who has been a
flowing river of inspiration in my life, my daughter, Laura Elizabeth
Grageda. For the last six years, she has made me realize the true meaning
of unconditional love. She has inspired me in many ways. Her love and
admiration always motivates me to be the best mother I can possibly be in
my life time. The ways her love inspires me are countless but tonight I will
share with you the inspiration of her unconditional love.
9. Unconditional love means to love someone regardless of one's actions or
beliefs. Laura loves anyone no matter what happens. Her love is so
unconditional that when her dog was ran over by her tio Pablo, she was
upset but also said, “that’s ok I still love you”. Don’t misunderstand; she was
really upset about her dog dying, but she also understood that it was not
done intentionally. When Laura was about two years old and found out that
her Mami, her grandma, was sick with diabetes, the first thing she said was,
“Mami you need to start eating so that you can become well”. So the next
evening, when she was going to eat, she said to her Mami, “Vente Mami a
comer conmigo para que te puedes tomar la medicina.” She wanted her
grandma to eat with her so she could take her medicine. The concern and
love for her mami only inspires me more.
10. Laura loves me even if I get impatient with her or discipline her when she
is in the wrong. In the mornings, with a big sloppy and smelly kiss, she tells
me how much she loves me. Sometimes I think she is too affectionate. I’m
just kidding. At least once a week, she tells her daddy and me how she is
never going to have a boyfriend or get married because she is going to take
care of us for the rest of our life. Her favorite phrase is “Hasta que estemos
viejitos” (until we get old). She encourages me to be able to give her what
she deserves in her childhood life. For instance, she deserves a good life
that consist of an education with option of college, the love of her family
members, and most of all, the feeling and always knowing she can count on
her mother. I want her to be able to consider me her best friend, not just her
mother.
11. Brindo por mi hermosa hija Laura. Please join me as I toast
to my beautiful daughter and future best friend, Laura. May
she always be happy and stay by our side like she promised.
May her unconditional love conquer the hearts of many, as it
has conquered mine. Her love will continue to inspire and
motivate me to be the best mother and friend that I can
possibly be, even as we at last (God willing), reach old age
together. Gracias, Laura, for giving my life significance and
showing me the real meaning of unconditional love.
