Thank you being a mother is utmost important work for me. My children inspired real love inside of me. Without them, I would not have known what it felt like. Ive worked to keep this family together. If I hadn't, looking back, the people I would have turned to would have led to far greater harm to my children. I shudder to think about it. So that gives me some relief that I must've been making somewhat of a conscientious choice. onward and upward is the only way I want to go, and I am thankful for every healthy step.
