28 Good Having Kids Answer
There have been many, many positive moments throughout my son's life . . .
in purely selfish terms, I have gained so much through having known him for
the last ten years. We were relaxing last night after a hectic Christmas
vacation and he was telling me how much he had enjoyed our time off from
school and the chance to reconnect as a family. He told me, "Mom, I'll bet
all the babies in Heaven were fighting over who would get you for a mom.
And I got you!!" I still get tears in my eyes when I think of the mutual
love and respect behind his words. There are times when parenting is fun,
times when it is hard work, and times when it is less than enjoyable. But,
it is always, always rewarding.
