Stage Mother

'I think that the purpose of mothers is to show her children how things ought to be done in this life...well in my case, not completely by example...but I guess you have seen enough to learn from the mistakes I made...', I told Ana, in yet again, another one of those short but important conversations. She nodded in agreement. She understood what I meant.

I am grateful for much in this life, but not more than having children like Ana and Aidan.
