When my children were little I used to look at mothers of teenagers and think ‘where do you get your joy?’ I dreaded the thought of my children growing up as I could not imagine motherhood getting any better.
And we all know what everyone has always said about teenagers.
Now they are teenagers and I have really loved each day with them better than the last. Like everything else in life – you have to give up to get.
They are and always will be my Christmas angels.
I am so happy to hear that!
