Raising children and being a mother is hard but the most fulfilling work. Each day can bring an unexpected wonder, or a small heartache.
Each child has a unique personality of his/her own, which reminds me of Kahlil Gibran, who said in The Prophet..." You may give them your love but not your thoughts, For they have their own thoughts."
I also read an article at Reader's Digest that sums up that children are like dogs, obedient, loyal and want to be close by, while teen-agers are like cats, haughty, do not seem to care, and want to be left alone. However, when they reach the age of about 19 or so, they act like dogs again. Maybe...
Now that all of our children are grown...they are caring, thoughtful, and generous. We are always grateful to God for the blessings of our children.
