There's no way you could get me to stand mine up next to it.<br /><br />It is definitely the finger curls and the books and the quiet understanding of who their children were that made (makes) our mothers so important to us. It's what we'll remember long after we don't have them to turn to anymore.Kelly Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12738542739547858853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16484482.post-67417362627850392332010-05-10T15:51:23.926-04:002010-05-10T15:51:23.926-04:00"My fears or worries about how I parent aren&..."My fears or worries about how I parent aren't about my mother. I am not parenting in contrast to her." <br /><br />Those lines resonate so loudly. Because our own mothers are often our strongest (or even only) examples of parenthood, we can easily be tempted to measure ourselves by the yardstick they crafted. But it's so important to remember - reminding ourselves and them - that it is the finger curls and redacted books that loom far larger than the missteps we are trying to skip over.<br /><br />Thanks for this post, Kelly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
