whichever way our moms are, toward the good, or toward the bad, we do try to do the best we can for our children. i made sure if my kids knew nothing else, they knew that i loved them and there was nothing i could think of they could do that would ever change that!. i remember little josh, at 2, looking me in the eye and saying.."mommy, i don't yike you right now. i still yove you, but i don't yike what you did."
