special responsibility

I saw this on facebook and just had to put it on my blog to immortalize it forever. Wow. This not only makes you think back but also makes you think forward. When you read something like this it's easy to beat yourself up as a parent and set lofty goals that are impossible to attain. I do the same thing. I know I'm not a perfect parent. No one is. I know I make mistakes and I know there are many more years worth of mistakes to come. But when I see something like this it stops me in my tracks and makes me hope and pray that I can do better. All I've ever wanted to do is a be a mom. Ever since I was a little girl I dreamed of what I would name my kids, I dreamed of taking my kids for walks in the park and living happily ever after with my little family. That dream has come true two-fold and I want to be thankful for that blessing and give it my all each and every day.
