It was life-changing. It was difficult. There was never an easy moment. There was a lot of joy, but it was sprinkled across the spectrum of the years. Truly, my life would not be the same without them.
Even in the hardest moment.... I was asking one of my children, “What would you like me to say to people?” It was difficult. We were struggling together significantly. My child said, “Well, tell them that on your dying bed, you will know that it was all worth it.”
