Ma...No Nicole it is us that should be thanking you. Many times in my lifetime I have seen these circumstances arise and the mothers who choose to bury their sorrows in unhealthy ways and close off to the ills they fear of other men. You have remained open and honest and giving and caring. That we the other guys may still have a chance to impact the lives of your children if even in only smallest ways. Your oldest is extremely perceptive from his point of view and you nurture that even while in some situations he is fearful of his surroundings and new "adventures". <br /><br />We are thankful to be able to see your children and see you in them and how you have taught them and guide them in their daily lives. We are just the smallest part of their growing up whereas you, you are their rock and their comforter may it be from within or from Gods help you are so much greater than you ever give yourself credit for. I don't know how you do it a guy never will. I don't know how my mother did it but I attribute my caring and understanding from her and in my position do not want you to think we are enabling or a crutch or anything of that sort. You, Nicole, are a strong wonderful mother and I see that in the faces of your beautiful children every day I see them or even a picture of them. Hear their laughter and I think of how you have molded them. They are a gift to you and us from God that we can witness love by and through each one of them. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
