In my eyes, my mother set me up from the very beginning and then in every way possible, allowing the system to take hold of my life. Teens, if no else, need that frequent guidance in order to project a radiant future. I was blessed. I was strong. I was able to overcome certain obstacles. Encourage your children. Support your children. You've had a chance to live those years. You are to be the shelter to their storms, the light in their darkness. Guide your babies - you gave them life!
