I have to believe she hears you (and that mine hears me!) Motherhood is often a thankless job,. That fact doesn't make us feel less guilty for being the self-absorbed wretches we were. Lovely photos and tender words.
Yes. Agreed on mothers and mothering. I didn't know you had/have twin siblings. I'm a twin. Did you know that? And a mother, HA. But you know that :). Sending love, Jody
A good one, "Richie." I'm tempted to send it to my son who blames me for everything that has ever gone wrong in his life. I hope he blames me for loving him, too. For believing in him.
