No one knows why our kids hurt us. I became a mother at 17, not your average 17 year old I had straight A's. I wanted to go to art school.
Well I gave that kid life and now he lives in Okinawa and has decidee heis eloping this week in Guam. Now the last thing I would expect was that I wouldnt be able to see the child I had 25 years ago get married. We're all bumming about it. I love my kids dearly but I have to say they have hurt me a million times. He misses my birthday, mothers day etc. and he's the first one on the phone to say "hey ma can you send my birthday/christmas money early?" I just hope he is a better husband and realizes there are more people in the world besides him. We all go through these things and I believe there are lessons to learn from the decisions we make. I have learned to let go... Its like that old saying if you love something set it free. It is your childs loss to miss out on knowing a person like you!!!! Peace and Love to you on Mothers Day I'll be thinking about you. Think of me this week too Im becoming a mother in law this week. Reluctantly!!! Ree
