that is beautiful
my mom made my life miserable also
but so did my dad in a cunning way
but, guess what? I LOVE streams so much also!
I wish I could fish...i've tried, but i never catch anything
Next month, we get to spend time with one of our beloved daughters and boy do we know how special, spending precious time with them is...they do grow up and have their own little worlds at some point
an old girlfriend's adopted mother was in a bad car accident and i was there with her when she was home from the hospital and the other kids didn't come and it made my girlfriend angry
this mom said to her..."You don't have the right to expect anything from your children" or something like that and it's true...you give to your kids, but don't expect things in return...they have to find their own ways
i'm glad you have them....it makes life more special and when they do give to you, in some little way, like a squeeze on your hand, that's the return you get...treasure it if you can
