Last week my oldest child turned 12.
I remember the day my husband and I brought her home from the hospital. I actually said to him, “Can you believe they are just letting us take her home? We know nothing about how to care for a baby!”
I had no idea how I was going to take care of her. It was the first time in my adult life that I had serious self doubt about succeeding.
In the end, even though I had great trepidation about my skills as a mom, the pure love I held in my heart won out.
Over the years, I made many good decisions as a parent. But I also made a few mistakes. At least, at the time I believed them to be mistakes. But because of the way my children have handled certain situations, I now know that some were actually not mistakes at all – just growing pains.
I started the story below two years ago – but for some reason I could not bring myself to finish it.
Perhaps I was unable to make the business connection… Perhaps because it was just too personal.
Regardless, I finally finished it and I would like to share it with you now
