Thanks for that. It really made me feel so good inside. It's makes me want to be so much more for my children. I say there isn't anything I wouldn't do for them but that would be hard. I need to say yes more often when they ask me to do something with them. Why shouldn't I go down the slide with Pierce when he asks me too? Why can't we make cookies when he wants too? That's what quality time is, right? I can do/be more for him. Thank you.
