Change is hard. Especially when there are children involved. You want to focus on your happiness yet have theirs to focus on too. Every decision is torn due to how it will affect them yet bring happiness and peace in your life.
Today I received my daughter’s testing scores. These are standard testing across the district for her grade level. The report provides you with detailed information on your child’s academic progress and growth for the past couple of years to current.
I was blown away by my oldest progress. She’s always been super smart and outgoing. But this time the report showed me much more. The comparisons from 2017 to Spring 2019 proved a lot to me. She’s transitioned to a new school. Dealing with her parents having a divorce and moving into a new location. I couldn’t believe how all this change didn’t cause the harm you fear. She excelled every season. Every change.
I must admit the amount of love and happiness we surrounded our children with helped them transition easier with all this change. Their father and I always made sure we took time to make them happy and comfortable. Open communication is key in my household, to anything they had questions with or feared. I always said tell me even if I don’t want to hear it. What you feel is never going to be wrong.
With Mother’s Day around the corner it makes my heart happy to know that my girls are happy. I wouldn’t have done anything differently in my life. This path is the path we are meant to be on. My decisions in life have always been my choice a risk but worth every one of them.
She stopped at the store the other day and bought me this and said “Mom you need to know you’re the best mom I ever met.” I like to agree with her.
