Ups and Downs

I know this journey is full of many ups and downs. I know you are tired. I know you are doing your best. I know lots of times you wonder if it is enough.

I just wanted to remind you that most likely you have done more in the good and loving category for your child than anyone else in their life. That is more than just enough; that is HEALING! 

I also want to remind you that this is a long process. It is hard to see the progress sometimes, but that doesn't mean it is not there. It is there, maybe just sprouting, but it is there. Keep tending it.

One last thing I wanted to remind you about...don't forget to take care of YOU. You are your child's best chance at healing and you can do that better when you are filled up!

You'll see, you will look back and see the difference you made. Might not be the picture you had when you decided on this path, but it will be the picture of a heart that was healed never the less.

Keep On Keepin' On!
