Just another mother, thank you so much for your kind words ! That is very thoughtful of you. I try to be as caring and loving as I can be . Sometimes LOVE is the only thing that can get us through hard times in our lives. One time when I was having a difficult day , my friend really touched my heart . They told me they thought I was such a GREAT parent because even when my son Jacob would hit me in the face or lean back real quick and butt me in the head I would never raise my voice at him , I would just say NO Jacob , Mommy loves you don't do that . That really helped me to realize that I am so thankful that through all of this , the Lord has taught me patience . Your friend, DeAnna
