Hi everybody, I am a wife and a mother of four boys. I've have been a follower of Christ for a little over a year now, and am so happy with the changes that are taking place in my life. My boys are 16, 14, 4, and 3. Toddlers and teenagers- Oh My! I am a Loan Officer in Modesto, and help people leverage the equity in there homes and purchase homes. I went to school in Wasilla, AK and have been here in California for 17 years. Total Sunshine State Girl now, there's no going back. I love to go out on our boat wakeboarding with my family and friends. I love camping, reading, and shopping!...A Poem for Patrick and Miles..........................with love........................................................ ..I loved you enough to bug you about where you were going, with whom and what time you would get home........................................................ ............................................................ ....I loved you enough to insist you buy things with your own money, which we could afford, and you couldn't.................................................... ............................................................ ....I loved you enough to be silent and let you discover your friend was a creep....................................................... ............................................................ ... I loved you enough to stand over you for two hours while you cleaned your bedroom, a job that would have taken me 15 minutes..................................................... ............................................................ ....I loved you enough to let you see anger, disappointment, disgust, and tears in my eyes........................................................ ............................................................ ....I loved you enough to feel the pain of an unexcused tardy....................................................... ............................................................ ....I loved you enough not to make excuses for your lack of respect or your bad manners..................................................... ............................................................ ....I loved you enough to admit that I was wrong and ask for your forgiveness................................................. ............................................................ ....I loved you enough to ignore "what every other mother" did or said........................................................ ............................................................ ....I loved you enough to let you stumble, fall, hurt, and fail........................................................ ............................................................ ....I loved you enough to let you assume the responsibility for your own actions, at 6, 10, or 14.......................................................... ............................................................ ....I loved you enough to figure you would make bad choices, but forgave you for it...after discovering I was right....................................................... ............................................................ ....I loved you enough to shove you off my lap, let go of your hand, be mute to your pleas and insensitive to your demands...so that you had to stand alone....................................................... ............................................................ ....I loved you enough to accept you for what you are, and not what I wanted you to be.......................................................... ............................................................ ....But most of all, I loved you enough to say no when you hated me for it. That was the hardest part of all.Comment Me
