I promise you it ebbs and flows. How much we want to make life perfect and save our sons and daughters from pain it just does not work that way. Many thongs I wish I had embraced back them. I had my own mom struggles and sometimes it seems all ya could do was survive. I think I couldn't relieved my guilt and pain by realizing perhaps some things I thought so deeply mattered really didn't, that I could have laughed more, that I could have trusted and could gave shared more. I didn't share here the what and how of those actions, some are each momma's task to discern and done are for deeper discussion. But no doubt about it, a thoughtful adult person's life has has plenty of angst, guilty or otherwise, to salve whether be it mother, sister, wife . And better save some for when baby becomes adult because then it really sucks . And so it goes all a momma’s days. I promise you it ebbs and flows.
