My grandson graduated from Kindergarten last weekend. Sitting in the audience were his mother, father, step-mother and step-sister. They watched proudly and peacefully together as one unit. No, they aren’t the normal family. The normal family of mother, father and siblings has morphed drastically over the years.
As parents to this sweet little boy, they knew this was a special day for him. His mother and father wanted to show their pride and support for his accomplishment. Their number one priority was their son.
Nicole & Jeffrey
They wanted him to feel he’s loved equally by both. They show respect to the other parent. They communicate with each other and don’t use their son as a pawn. It’s difficult. But, when you put your child first your feelings just don’t seem that important. When you see a big smile on a child’s face that say, “I am loved.” There’s no need to say anything else.

Divorce or separation is an emotionally exhausting experience. Two people who met, fell madly in love and vowed they would be together forever are now enemies. Divorce and separation pits two people against each other. It’s as if a letter arrived in the mail saying, “Time to get out of here and fast before the bombs arrive.”
No one can answer the question, “Why?”
It happens. The two people involved are the only ones who know.
But, what about the children?
They are the silent victims. They can’t speak their minds. Or, can they? In this video this a six year old little girl gives her mom a wake up call as she is saying a great deal.

Divorce and separation is an adult issue. Don’t deprive your child or children of the love of the other parent because of issues you have with them. They will always hold you responsible for their loss of love.
****** Phhotograph of me and my youngest daughter, Nicole, is part of a gift given to me by my middle daughter, Lori, in an album she created for me several years ago for Mother’s Day. A true treasure of memories on every page. Thank you, Lori Carrozza. ❤️
Yesterday, was Mother’s Day in other parts of the world. In the states, we celebrate this special day in May. I think everyone would agree that any woman who’s raised a child deserves to be recognized ‘everyday’. It’s a life filled with tremendous sacrifice. Motherhood is always brimming with arms full of comfort and love.
For those of you who are blessed to have your Mother’s with you,
may Mother’s Day with her be filled with immense joy….!!!!
For those of you have lost your Mother’s,
may your day be filled with your precious memories of her.
Happy Mother’s Day to All …. !!!
