dps, thank you dear one for saying what you said. I really appreciate your thoughts on this whole thing. Since you are able to see it IRL, I'm sure you can see things that I don't see too. It's a huge help to me when that happens, so I thank you!

I know I am far from perfect and even in our marriage and raising the girls, I was not a perfect wife or mother. I had my share of issues during those times and there are things I wish I had done differently. I have apologized to my girls for what I did wrong and they have forgiven me. I don't think they really know how much I appreciate that forgiveness from them, even though I have told them in the past.

I pray that my actions and words will someday help them to understand life better. What I couldn't or didn't teach them as children is harder to teach as adults, but I will not stop teaching them and loving them and reaching out to them in difficult times. It's what a parent does when they love their children unconditionally.
