Never Would I Ever!
Would you ever leave a child or grandchild with a stranger? To answer the question I may not have answered: no she wouldn’t have been able to see him from where she was.

Expect The Unexpected
So expect people to expect you to sacrifice your happiness for theirs. It’s human nature for those who only see it one sided. It’s okay because you’ll have the will and strength to fight it and at times when needed with respect.

Self Care is the Best Care

Better Than I Was Yesterday
This is an episode that I feel strongly about. It’s not something I take lightly because it’s important to love a child right. And there is such thing as bad love. Children don’t ever deserve it. They deserve our best because that’s what we expect from them. Enjoy!
