What she does with it... her choice.
Good ideas. When I used to visit her, no matter how angry I was at her, I would always calm down and say at the end of my visit "I love you" simply because I knew no matter what happened I could never hold it over my head if those were the last things she heard off her daughters lips.
Congratulations Alera! Excellent job!! (THIS mom is very proud of you... ) (((hugs)))
This means more than you will know. When I first came here to F&F I was so scared to post, and I saw you as my naranon mother figure to me in some ways, leading the way to how to deal with all these family issues. You know what, I still do
You have a wonderful way about you, and thank you for sharing it with me.
