      A Mother’s Plea

      When you have a child, you love them so much that you sacrifice everything... Providing every necessity and showing them the softer side of life. You cling to them dearly and protect them from the hurt, pain and mistakes of their future failures. Preparing them for the inevitable but attempting to prolong it for one more day. They resent you for that and rebel against the so-called dictatorship. They feel that you don’t love them, care for them, understand them or know them.

Do you lovingly say enough and let them learn on their own? Do you reduce your level and tackle the issues head on? You desire more than anything to shelter your children from harm and to love them with all of your might. You continually demand the best from them and hope the best for them. You love them with all of your being and your heart aches for them. You look at your children with tear-filled eyes because you
