Michelle,

 

I wanted to write a personal note to you because you touched my heart.

 

Only a good mom would ever feel like they were not giving everything they could to their children.  When you don't care, then you know, and don't care.

 

If you feel like you are only giving half of what you want to give, just remember it is the best half, and a good half is better than a bad whole.

 

I wish I had been a better mom, but when in the trenches, we find a way to fight our battles, and then wish we had a better battle plan when they are grown.  We are just people, and do the best we can.  That is all we have.

 

You would get my award for best mom of the year.  My heart ached for your struggles with your health and concern for your children;  you also made my heart swell with pride knowing there is a "sister mom" out there giving love to her precious children even when they aren't so lovable. 

 

I have a problem when I try to send attachments, so I will forward two special emails I received about moms and women.  You will really enjoy these.  If you don't get these, let me know and I will try again.   

 

I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

 

Beth
