Dear loved one,

In your effort to present yourself an adult, you have grossly overshot and, consequently, find yourself back at square one. Try again sweetie.

It's no secret, parenting is one of the hardest jobs in existance. I have three biological children and two step-sons. In all actuality, all of these children were easy enough to raise - I do count myself a lucky parent.

My children are treasures that have gifted me a life of beautiful memories which bind us together, and peppered with worry, which did at times consume me.
