Bethany, thank you so much for sharing. It is a gift to be "friends" with your mom and to be able to learn from her. I'm sure she learns from you as well. Moms are not perfect, but we have grown through some stuff that has shaped us into the women we are today. When our children are willing to lean in and learn, it is a joy to us and a gift to the next generation. What you have learned from your mom - and what you will continue to learn - will bless you for the rest of your life! I look forward to your next post!

Deb, I'm praying for you continually!
