my dearest daughter Connie is my dearest daughter, who is now 16 years old, taller, bigger, smarter and more beautiful than me. Watching her developing from my little girl into a young lady, I'm filled with some kind of complicated feeling, a clear sense of pride and a vague feeling of loss. Compared with other girls of her age in China, she's rather independent and always a all-A student in school, which saved me a lot of trouble. Now she almost does all the shopping for herself but it's a bit funny I can't remember clearly when she began shopping for herself, maybe 2 years ago. She is the only child, so my husband and I always satisfy her as long as her requirements are reasonable. Growing in a rich and comfortable environment, she is confident, smart and knowledgeable. I envy her and proud of her. She used to have a lot to talk with me. But now she seems more like to chat with her friends. When I was in other country or other cities, I eagerly called her expecting to tell her a lot, but she sometimes just cut me short, which really made me feel lost. Where is my darling girl? I comfort myself that she's grown up and a teenager's always rebellious. Somehow from the bottom of my heart I still have a nameless feeling of loss.

My Dearest Daughter

Connie is my dearest daughter. She is now 16 years old and taller,I left out "bigger," because in English saying that a girl is bigger can be seen as a bit insulting haha smarter and more beautiful than me. As I watch her develop from my little girl into a young lady I'm filled with bittersweet feelings I thought "bittersweet" here is more descriptive due to what you say right afterward ;a clear sense of pride and a vague feeling of loss.
Compared with other girls of her age in China she's rather independent and always a straight-A student, which saves me a lot of trouble. Now she almost does all the shopping for herself but it's a bit funny I can't remember clearly when she began doing this, maybe 2 years ago. She is an only child so my husband and I always satisfy her as long as her requirements are reasonable. Growing in a rich and comfortable environment she is confident, smart and knowledgeable. I envy her and am proud of her.

She used to have a lot to talk about with me, but now she seems to enjoy chatting with her friends more. When I was in other countries or cities I would eagerly call her expecting to talk for a while; however, she sometimes would cut me short, which really made me feel lost. Where is my darling girl? I comfort myself with the thought that she's grown up and going through a rebellious phase. Somehow from the bottom of my heart I still have a nameless feeling of loss.

 

You're English is really great! I just reworded some things to make it flow a little better and sound more natural to a native English speaker but it was almost perfect. I would suggest you be careful about putting to many commas, though. Awesome!

(This sentence is right, but I think it sounds better like...
"As I have watched her develop from a little girl into a young lady, I am filled with complicated feelings such as a clear sense of pride and a vague feeling of loss")
