Three cheers for your earth angel, @jaynie! I'm so glad you had someone there for you, in the same way you've been there for so many others. ❤️

#38 - Today, I am grateful that we raised strong, independent thinking, kidlets (who are now all over the age of 18 – egads!). Every time they argue with me, disagree over an opinion of mine, question why I've asked them to do something, look at me sideways when I state something perfectly reasonable (like, “Because I'm the mother, that's why!”), I remember how truly (seriously) lucky we are as parents. If they give us this kind of guff, I can imagine what will happen in the future if anyone tries to pull a fast one on them...
