Gratitude: January 11th

I am so incredibly grateful for my children. Even with the stress, the worry and the heartache that sometimes comes along with parenting, I can't begin imagine not seeing them every day. 

There was a long time that I didn't think I wanted children. Then, I wanted children but miscarried and wondered if I would even be able to have them. Now I have teenagers; teens who have changed so much over the years, but in some ways are still the same little people in that picture. (It's one of my all time favorites.)

I hope they know how much they are loved.
