I feel like I have been through so much myself that I don't think any of my children should ever have troubles. Life just has so many hiccups in it. You try to do your best with what you have, handle things appropriately. Show kindness, empathy and appreciation. I'll be dammed though, nothing is ever easy. It feels like some days I'm going to break but something keeps me together and I know what it is (my children ). Even though most are grown and living their own lives. They're still in my thoughts every day. I wonder if they wonder about that? I can feel their pain whether they know it or not. Currently my youngest is finding out that people are not always what they seem and I have to explain that it's not his fault and many of the things we go through in life are lessons that we will grow from. I know he doesn't always understand or even want to hear me talking but I continue and as most people who know me know I don't give up so easily. Yet someday hopefully they will understand just how much I have always cared. Some know now, some will someday- given the chance and opportunity. Until then know I am always here and always will be. ..to listen, to love and too definitely do some talking myself.
