We Are One: Motherhood - The good, the bad and the ugly
Excerpt:
I also put impossibly high expectations on myself.  People have tried to reassure me that I did the best I could...but what if the best I could, wasn't good enough?  Doubts, fears, guilt, plague me.  I also learned that children are amazing and choose at some point to allow my mistakes to hinder them or become spring board to doing something different.

I learned that saying the words "I love you" to a child isn't enough.  You need to show with your actions even when you are tired and out of sorts yourself or they have grown and left home.  I also know that at some of my lowest times, my children were the ones that put their arms around me and reassured me that going forward was possible.  I cherish those memories.
 
Motherhood is an awesome and terrifying responsibility...
