. . . I realized I did fairly well on at least some of them. Taking
the list from the top,
I wanted to be a
better mother. I don’t know if I achieved that or not. I suspect I continued
to be the kind of mother I always was, but I don’t think that’s necessarily a
bad thing. I was a loving mother.
I don't think I ever wrote that down but I probably thought it a lot when the kids were kids.
ReplyDeleteI think of you as a very loving mother. Although I may be now more fully aware that I think that. Funny, the impressions one has without specifically thinking them...
ReplyDeleteI've never second-guessed anything as much as my parenting. I'm guessing we all do that.
ReplyDeleteThe very fact you wanted to be a better mother shows what a wonderful mother you were. The ones who think they're doing fine are the ones - in my observation - who often aren't. Besides. Love. That's what it's all about anyway.
