I've learned that life
doesn't seem to follow the plans and dreams we unrealistically set for
ourselves. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've wished that that
my life would have taken the path that I wanted it to take...but then I come to
grips with reality and remember that that path would not have given me my two
children. I'm not going to bore you with the details of my failed marriages and
finally finding the man who finally captured my heart, stepped into the role of
being "Dad", and put up with the drama of life that has fulfilled our
lives.
I will tell you that my
kids can be a pain in the butt, cause me headaches and heartaches...but in the end,
they are mine and I'll love them until the day I die. Raising kids isn't easy
and can be scary, especially when put into an unexpected position. But at the
same time it is one of the most rewarding and wonderful accomplishments you
will ever do while on this Earth. With good support of family, friends and
those who love you, you and your child will undoubtedly have a strong support
system. No matter what any of us tell you...you will definitely see and learn
that your common sense, love and endurance is what will get you through the
good and the bad of raising a child and even having relationships.
Just remember to breathe
and lean on people when you need to. One thing I learned a long time ago was
there are no stupid questions when someone is asking for help. The important
thing to remember is not to be afraid to ask.
Live your life like a
river flows... free without force, and trust that whichever way it goes it's
for the best.
