Sorry for the double post, but I just saw this.

Think of what you are giving to your children when you love and nurture them as you do. Know of the gift inside yourself in your ability to love another so unconditionally and purely. That love is part of you and what you have to offer. Maybe one day you will be able to offer some of the very same gentle support and care to yourself.
