So true that the darkness is part of the light. I was at a funeral a few days ago and there was talk about suffering. There is nothing bad about suffering. Without suffering, there is no joy. And….we all get mad at our kids, even when they look at us with those sweet little faces, try being a mother! And our kids get mad at us and so it’s a part of that bond with them. Comes from spending time with them and we have to spend time with them to know them. It’s not all birthday parties and Christmas mornings, but those are the things she will remember the most. Forgivness comes natural for little ones ;) ~peace~ Teri
