I have always been there for her. It's hard to see her get hurt. It's hard not to be able to be there a hundred percent. I love helping her.

Motherhood has made me a better person.. since my mom is gone. I helped my daughter. I've been there for my siblings kids. They call me anti grandma. I love seeing them succeed. Life is what you make of it. Life is helping each other. Whatever you put into the world , it comes back to you. Life will never be perfect. We need to take it one day , one step at a time. I love my family. I don't know how my mom raised eleven kids. I wanted more kids back , I wasn't able to.
