　　　I want to tell you a story about a wonderful, strong lady. She is my Mother. When I was a little girl—I am the middle child by the way—I was kind of distant from my Mom. I had a couple of grandparents that no doubt loved me very much, but controlled my feelings for my Mother. I always felt like she didn't love me, although she tried with all her power to make me see she did. Anyway, later on in life my parents divorced and we all went our separate ways so to speak. I was only 15, but got in with the wrong crowd, got pregnant, married, divorced, all in about two years. Mom was going through a pain all her own, but still managed to try and pick me up and brush me off. I wouldn't have it;_I sank even deeper. I know this has to be hard for a Mom to see, and even harder for her to let it happen, so that one day I might hit the bottom and have to swim back up.
