Thank you, again, for sharing. The story about your mother and her self-sacrficing love was particularly meaningful to me. I was listening as I folded load after load of laundry for my six children. I hope I can be like her.
Dear Claire, I love the fact that you are the mother of six children. There is nothing that can equal a mother’s love. God bless you, your husband and your children.
