Wow
They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.
Carl W. Buechner
Found this quote today and it took my breath away.
Just one of those moments that makes you stop and think...
Makes you want to hug your kids and SHOW them how much you love them.
I know this quote very well. I think I saw it on Clover Lane. I try to remember it throughout the day. Let's make a deal to remind each other of it as the years come and go!
That's where I saw it too! I'll make that deal with you! Sometimes it does get hard to remember that when in the midst of frustration. I really act selfish sometimes...wish I could take those moments back. But, you just start fresh and move forward. They are really quite forgiving sometimes!
After spending that precious time with Hannah, I should tell you how awesome she is. WOW! I hope Rosie will be as well-mannered, happy, polite, loving, thoughtful as Hannah. We really enjoyed her visit. You are an amazing mom!
Thank you Joanna! I have been very proud of Hannah...she had such wonderful comments from all her family and I'm so glad it was a special time for her AND everyone else!
