Feeling a bit on the melancholy side tonight. Being a parent is such an amazing and frightening experience. My children mean the world to me. The responsibility of being their mommy is one that I take very seriously.
I don't suppose that there is any parent who doesn't have regrets. You do your best, you give the best of yourself, and like it or not, the worst of yourself plays a role as well. Your child is with you through thick and thin, relying on you, and their entire growth and development occurs throughout the experiences you share together. A quote that I learned once replays in my head, "Parents do their best, and when they know better, they do better." I learn from my mistakes and I try to learn from the mistakes of others. I know I'm a good mom, just not as good as I wish I were. So, I try to give myself grace and place all my worries in God's capable hands.
