I am grateful that I had the opportunity to be a mother although things didn't turn out as I had wished. I am grateful that I no longer feel any hurt or pain about it. I am grateful that I have come to accept that for now "it is what it is."
I am also grateful for my mother and her unconditional love.
Lastly, I pray my 3 nieces, who lost their mother 2 years ago, find peace today.
