Spent most of the day with my sister. My niece Tess is 17 and just going through that tough "teen" stage right now. Tess is a great kid who has just made some bad choices lately and unfortunatly they all came to a head on Saturday. Makes me think back on all the hell I put my Mom and Dad through when I was young and how much I want to tell them I'm sorry. But it is our experiences in life that make us who we are. Tess is just now finding out who she is and it will take many more mistakes and years to finally understand who she is and what type of woman she wants to be. I wish I could make life easier for her but she needs to learn on her own. I am so proud of my sister Heather for how she is showing Tess how there is are no boundries or coditions in a Mother's love.
Most of my days are spent talking to young mothers about how to raise babies and the thoughts of teenagers never really cross my mind. But this weekend has reminded me that parenting never stops and sometimes a 17 year old needs you just as much as a 7 year old.

I'm dreading the teenage years... my mom keeps telling me "what goes around,comes around" and I was a horrible teenager.
