And I apologize if my...I am so sorry for your loss. And I apologize if my words added to that pain. My attempt was to encourage moms, and give them (and me!) a break from the pressure to be perfect. It's not about how well we do, it's about how much we love. And by that measure, we are all good mamas, no matter how long we're blessed with our children here on earth. I'll be praying for your rainbow baby.

I just love looking at the two of them together. i have moments/thoughts like this ALL.THE.TIME and this parenting stuff is so darn difficult and gets more difficult the older they get (it seems). BUT, (there's always a BUT- snicker) I keep looking ahead to the time when they're all grown and married and grand babies come along. It's a bit of a challenge to see that far ahead, but that's one of things I am planning on enjoying MUCH MUCH later on down the road. in the meantime, i'll pause and enjoy these little moments with them and hug them often, while they still let me!Crafty Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13770432469384389912noreply@blogger.com
