Being a mother has its share of ups and downs. It is challenging to be the one who is responsible for the lives of young human beings. But the rewards are much greater. Having medical limitations certainly makes my job difficult. There have been (and still are) days where I can not be mom 100% of the time and I feel like I'm sacrificing their well-being. So, when my kiddies do really well in school, behave and respect their elders and peers I feel proud.
One of my proudest moments was last year when my Brownie was nominated to participate in the People 2 People Student Ambassador program. She had the opportunity to travel to six European countries during the summer! It was so awesome for her to get to see how other people live and represent her delegation from our area. At 13, the lucky girl got to visit Switzerland, The Netherlands, Germany, France, Belgium and the United Kingdom (London). She also got the President's Education Award for Academic Excellence! I felt very proud knowing that I was still able to guide my kids toward a bright future despite all of the struggles I have with daily pain.
She's 14 now and is almost finished with her first year of high school. I couldn't ask for better daughter.
