Have you ever felt like you must have been or are the worst parent in all time?

All of us have. The truth is, all of us have been bad parents at times, but at the same time we have given everything we have for our children.

I think back to my grandparents, I do not remember them ever once stressing over whether or not they were able to give me, my brother or all my cousins name brand gifts.

Never once did they try to attend every program, game or event we were in. The truth is we loved them without any of the fanfare.

We adored them for who they were, not for the financial things they gave us.My memories of my grandparents have no gifts, only love and heritage.

Family love and support were more important than anything else. Oh, how I long for those days again.
