There are a lot of posts online about not knowing when someone else is struggling and so be kind to everyone. I generally thrive on humor. Love to make people laugh and love to hear that I have. I occasionally rant or complain but I try not to do it publicly very often. And I'm not doing it today either. What I am doing is putting in writing some feelings that I want to share.
The past 9 months (this school year) have been a nearly daily struggle at my house. We've had some real hurdles and battles. I've worried more than I've ever had to with either of my kids. And tomorrow all those worries abate as I watch my son receive recognition for Commitment to Character at school. The struggles are hopefully behind us and the battles are nearly non-existent now.
If anyone ever says a mothers instincts aren't real, they aren't mothers. Sometimes as moms we have to make decisions that we aren't sure about. When it turns out to have been the right one, the relief is palpable.
I can't begin to describe the pride I have for this kid!! He has worked hard and has trusted me to help and guide. The roads we walk with our children are not always easy. Not always lined with roses. But the rewards are countless and priceless.
I'm a lucky mom!!
