Know that I love you to pieces, to the moo-moon and back, and more than the fishies in the sea.<br /> <br /> Your decision to be a mom is beautiful. I think often people aren’t sure what to say because they don’t understand the beautiful and divine calling of a mother or they have not experienced it. Mimi there are very few strong families in the world. Our family is special.<br /> <br /> I know about 4 families here in the mission that are complete and without serious tension or marital problems. I met a child on the street the other day both of his parents work all day and he lives on his bicycle coming home only for lunch with his 22 year old brother.<br /> <br />There exists no stronger bond, no stronger love, no stronger protection or security, or power in the world than the bond between a good mother and her children. In general conference someone said “a mother can exert an influence unequaled by any other person in any other relationship”. This is true.<br /> <br />I liked reading about your struggles with matt. Ive always wondered how that went the first year isn’t suppose to be easy and I never heard of a bad word or struggle. I was hoping everything went well.<br /> <br />Lots of love and hugs from Madeleine's Aunt Mollie<br />Your sis<br />Sequoiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04205160328282022594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975533536399135450.post-41212359640315898562014-01-09T15:55:30.967-08:002014-01-09T15:55:30.967-08:00Thanks!

She told me I'd be a lot happier as a mom than a student. She was right. hahaMichelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01688055195720685915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975533536399135450.post-17027564454580237482014-01-09T15:54:25.504-08:002014-01-09T15:54:25.504-08:00Thanks!

If she were here to talk with you, I know she would give you a big hug and thank you for taking such good care of her GREAT granddaughter.....NO nanny, babysitter, or day care will love her and enjoy this unbelievable time of growth. THANK you for doing the right thing. Sharing in God's work is the most important work on earth.....take pride in just being MOM....a great calling and honor.

I wonder if my parents are disappointed I'm not a fancy something or other, or if it means I "took the easy way out"- but then I realize how important having a wonderful parent is and the fact that the world needs more people fully invested in their children not less! I often pose the thought to myself of ok all these wonderful things I dream of... being a mother was the biggest one, how awesome that I accomplished my number one dream in life first! Woo look at me prioritizing. You are a beautiful writer and I enjoy reading your blog!Kali and JThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01775787255008181311noreply@blogger.com
