Thank you Becky for your kind words ...having the kind of parents I had and childhood I experienced made me a stronger person and I knew what kind of parent I wanted to be for my kids...while i'm not always perfect they never doubt how deeply I care.And by having a lack of family my children realize just how precious it is to have people who truly love you surround them.
Thank you all for sharing your experiences while in my head I know Im not alone sometimes my heart feels differently.
I think I will hug them all a little longer tonight..........
