Just because..........

So, Stacey's liberating post on the board got me thinking. I'm really lucky considering some of the things my fellow moms have been through. I was never abused--mentally, physically, or sexually---something that I'm finding out now that I'm an adult is very very rare. My dad was an alcoholic while I was growing up. He cheated on my mom--hit her a few times....but she worshipped the ground he walked on. Luckily, he realized what he was doing and now adores her the way she always has him. I still remember the day he decided to quit drinking for good. I was 15 years old and he put his last beer can up in the kitchen cabinet with the date on it. And, he did---quit, until I got pregnant with Jordan, he took it up again, but it didn't last long. My mom had grown some balls and wasn't going through it again. He's a wonderful dad--he would do everything/anything in his power to make sure my brother and I are happy. And, he's a great grandpa. My two girls have something I never had and that is fantastic grandparents.
My mom---wow---simply the most amazing woman I know. In a world filled with takers she is the biggest giver I know. I can't imagine my life without her....so, to sum it up, I've been very blessed. And my heart goes out to all my friends that have dealt with so much. Although mom and dad won't read this---lol---this blog is just to share w/my other mom friends :) If felt good to say it--and it felt worthy of saying.

And, now I believe I'll blog about the good doctor that has taken up enough of my thoughts for the past year.
