Midlife

What I was thinking was that now that my children have grown up it seems like such a big part of my life is over. My children were and are my life. I have poured my entire heart and soul in their lives. As parents, we only have 18 years to make it count and to raise young adults to be successful in life. Not necessarily a financial success, but just a success in life... a life that pleases God and a life that makes them happy. If I could only express to all of you the feeling you have when you can look back on your life and know that you have raised successful children. Make every day count with your children. Help them, be there for them. Make sure they know that you would do absolutely anything in the world for them. Make every decision based on your children .. you only have 18 years to make it work... it's not very long; believe me. But the battle is definitely worth it. I love you so much Chris, Staci & Kelsi and now our newest addition our daughter-in-law Sarah. Thank you to my loving husband who is the best daddy ever!

You've done a great job with your family, Tammi. You should be proud...and then get ready to be a grandma and do the same thing, but this time with less worry, more fun and lots of treats. =]
