I'm so unsure if I was even close to being a good mother, though if I wasn't, it was not for want of trying, or wanting, to be the best. I wonder how our children will remember us when we're gone?mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03797484583400519909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11542365.post-72532577346288821962016-08-21T15:30:04.528-07:002016-08-21T15:30:04.528-07:00My father alerted me how I would laugh at how many...My father alerted me how I would laugh at how many relatives I might see in myself, including him most.
