Absolutely, Edna! Keep growing, keep learning! Love has no other way, in my view.

You didn’t tell your daughter she was a disappointment and throw her out into a World of unknowns, pain and hate. You consciously and unconsciously started a process in learning what Love really is. How this daughter was somehow different, yet, exactly the same. She was the daughter she was always meant to be.
There are several chapters in my life that I will always be disappointed in myself. The only way I can overcome is knowing that I’m learning…growing…understanding and aspiring to do better…be better.
Isn’t that what we’re supposed to do in this life? Not remain ignorant, stubborn and stagnant? To stand defiantly stating this is the way I was raised or taught, so that’s the end? It’s my way or not at all?
I’m glad we both said, NOPE!!! Love is the way. Truly.
