Parenting and Motherhood

As we talked at dinner, we found ourselves going back in time and remembering. Remembering how my parents wanted to still being parents by bringing us those care packages so that they could feel comfort that we were being feed to their standards.

The conversation led to addiction and how anyone  can get themselves hooked on whatever, dope, crack heroin. I've never been able to understand it but when Anna said that Abbey told her that taking crack gave her a high that was like having the best climax ever and it made some sense as to why do it. Being a parent is tough for you have to have understanding of what your kids are going through yet still trying to instill a strength in them to not give in to superficial fixes that are not fixes at all but destructive.

This rambling does have a point and that is you have taken the position to provide guidance to Jaclyn by simply listening and not trying to impose your will like I always seem to or want to do. I am so rigid as to how things should be I fail to see that things are not as black and white as I would like them to be. You are showing me that sometimes my master plan has to be altered and improvising needs to come into play and not getting upset when that does happen. I spend so much time thinking of how things should be that I don't really see how they are.

The point of this is keep on doing what you are doing for you are a great mom to Jaclyn and I love you more because of it.

Happy Mothers Day
