You are amazing Linda - I have often read your posts and been inspired by your sensitive and insightful responses and suggestions.
Being a mum has challenged me in ways I would never have thought - mostly when the path I have taken is not the one I had hoped for. I still have had to remind myself that whatever works best for my family is the way forward for us all. It may not be what I had pictured but that's ok - it is not a negative reflection on my abilities as a mother or the love I have for my family, infact the complete opposite. I am often staggered by the competitive nature of mothers and the lack of compassion displayed - as everyone has their struggles.
I have never met you but I can tell you are an amazingly brave person, a fabulous mother and will touch more people than you could ever realise. Thank you.
