Sad and beautiful! Odd how one person's life, a stranger no less, can be as familiar as one's own. Parents sometimes don't know when not to control a child's every move. I share that pain. Awaiting the next part. (Very nice presentation---boxes and colors)

I kinda felt the same way reflecting back on my life. I tried not to do this with my son as I was raising him. Thanks for visiting, everyone. Sheri (¯`•♥•´¯) ¤`•.♥.•´ ¤ (¯`•♥•´¯)

I feel the same way. I am raising my kids differently than my parents. Not because they did a bad job, but when you know better you do better. They had a ton of children and their job was a clean house, food on the table and a roof over their head. Learning the rules and that was love. I was second to the last. Fortunately my mother could do more for us younger ones and the older siblings really did hate and claimed that we were spoiled because we got rides and they had to walk everywhere. I can remember seeing the hate from my sister's mouth as she really was unhappy with my parents about this. There is 13-1/2 years between us. She was married and probably had 2-3 kids at this point. I asked my mother if her mother ever said I love you to her and she said no, you just knew your mother loved you because she took care of you. They had a farm to run and 14 kids, so even though she was the baby of her family, she said hugs and words of love weren't outright spoken but she just knew. I made it a point to always tell my nieces each time we hung up the phone I loved them. Then when it was time for me to be a mother, I tell them that I love them every day, several times a day and they say it back. I want I love you to come from their lips as easily as Hello, please and thank you, etc..... They also don't agree on other things I do, think I should maintain traditional Catholic upbringing. Well I wish my mother knew there was MORE. I found that and I had to tell her that the beauty of being an adult is that I get to make my own decisions. She hasn't bugged me but the kids are still going to CCD and my middle guy is still an alter server for the Catholic 1/2 of him but he goes to youth group, retreats and my daughter goes to Sunday School and is active in Wed Small group and the Christmas Musical. Plus my middle guy goes to another FRiday night Bible Group Youth Group in my town. Hey, he's off the streets and surrounded my Christian children fellowship. Amazing what you learn each generation and when you learn more and know better you do better, Good for you Sherri!!! ((((((((((((((((((((((SHER  )))))))))))))))))))))Big hugs and love, Ginny * Sin is sin. Careful what comes across your lips & out your finger tips!!! * We are all the Body of Christ.

GBY stevie If I didn't have my kids and all you guys here, I'd have no one to express love to. Having this injury has isolated me. Not working for 2 years is hard. Living a different life, which is nice too but less interaction with people. I am not used to this. * Sin is sin.

It was somewhat different at my house growing up, though no less painful! I was the third of 3 children (my parents only wanted 2...as I was told on many occasions by the both of them). My father was emotionally distant and rarely at home (he traveled in his job). My mother was an alcoholic (having all of the wonderful abusive giftings that come with such substance abuse) who was especially proficient in emotional manipulation. Whenever she said she loved us or tried to show any affection to any of us (her children)...you could bet we were about to be "cheated" (i.e. lose something we held dear or asked to do something we wouldn't want to do). It was a long time coming around and dealing with that...forgiving, letting go and moving on with life. But, the hardest thing (even)now is not to flinch whenever someone tries to embrace you or tell you that they love you! Blessings, Sheri (¯`•♥•´¯) ¤`•.♥.•´ ¤ (¯`•♥•´¯)

((((hugs)))) back at ya. yes, the power of forgiveness does lift those burdens and Ginny is right, I like that. "If you know better, you do better." You have learned to be open to the spirit of love and compassion, I hear it in this testimony and I see it in the blogs as you share with all of us. I will be adding more to this series soon, so come on back if you have the time and go find Ginny, I have replied to her comment but she must be in hiding. GBY, Sheri (¯`•♥•´¯) ¤`•.♥.•´ ¤ (¯`•♥•´¯)
