Meaning behind the blog name

This is a blog dedicated to my relationship with my mom. I really don't know what to do with it. I have found that writing about her has helped my grieving process. Sometimes I feel like I have exhausted conversations with other friends and family about my loss, so I wanted a separate place to journal. Honestly, I feel scared to voice my feelings online, but I do feel like if others find this blog, they might benefit from it. A lot of people go through this process and don't know how to communicate their sadness. There's a learning curve and each day you face something new.

The name of the blog comes from an inside joke between my mom and I. It was a phrase that came from me dropping off laundry at the local cleaners run by an Asian family. Clearly, my mother had been in there many times and they had formed a bond. When I mentioned her name and that she would be picking them up later that day, they were thrilled. Apparently, they had conversations about me there (probably from when they boxed up my wedding dress), but they just said something I couldn't understand and then "It's All About The Daughter!" Mom and I laughed about this because from here on out and eventually every time we spent quality time together or did something special, we would say "It's All About The Daughter." I miss her.
