    what would you like your kids to remember you most for? trying to always be there for them, love, laughter & being fair, but not necessarily in that order!

    Of course for the unconditional love, but for patience, and strength too. We have gone through so much loss, that I hope I have given the the courage to go on and to do it with grace, and be thankful for what they do have!

    I hope my girls remember me doing anything to make them laugh. I also hope they think I am very approachable. They could tell me anything without judgement.

    As a single parent of three grown men...I would hope they would remember the unconditional love, tempered with moral and honest respect for each other. All three have at least 4 year college degree and 2 have completed their master's degree. All three are masons and active in church. Maybe I got at least those three things right in my life.

    How hard it is to be a parent and no one is perfect.

    That I loved them dearly, never lied to them. They can think back about how Mom was always there but man could she be mean...lol

    Mostly how much I love them; but also, that I was true to myself and stuck to my beliefs even when it causes other people to be angry with me.
