And, it indeed takes a life time. Personally, I think you're right on schedule. The truth is, as mothers, we pour our lives into the greatest work of art ever: our children and family.

After all, a star can't help but shine!<br /><br />Leila<br /><br />LeilaLeilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14982736641447191824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5004621291524917599.post-49070995608087144772012-01-09T16:42:44.160-08:002012-01-09T16:42:44.160-08:00Rae you are the most loving person I know.

It is just plain old ordinary everyday life.....and everything feels so much better after that creme horn! LOL I too have let myself down...I have not accomplished all that I want in life. I talk the talk but find it challenging to walk the walk.<br /><br />You have never let me down or others around you. We just gotta learn to do for US!

You are always there for all of us, whenever we need you. You never let anyone down, ever. You always put others before yourself. You are a giver, that is who you are. You want everyone you love to be happy. I have never met a more selfless person in my life. Maybe it’s just time you spend a little more time on what Rae wants, instead of everyone else. You may have disappointed yourself, but you have never disappointed any of us. We only care about you and want to see you happy. love you MIL!Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07480619244664664911noreply@blogger.com
