Thank you for thinking of me, Toph! Being a mom is the most important and fulfilling thing I've ever done and it's nice to be remembered for it.
Try not to be so hard on yourself, though. (((((Toph))))) I bet your mom knows you love her. Think of it this way...do you think we'd be so quick to blame our moms or expect more from them if we didn't care for, need, and want to love them? And we rightfully want and expect them to return that love. But being a mom is hardly a perfect science. Mistakes are made along the way. I'm not saying it won't hurt if...make that when...N lets me know I've fallen short of some of his expectations, but I will know it's because I'm important to him. I can only hope I and my actions matter that much to my little guy.
Thanks again for thinking of me and all the other moms here.
Take care, Toph.
