I actually had a friend that told me she will NEVER apologize to her child for anything because she doesn't want her child to be ONE UP on her. can you imagine that?! that's really sad to me....anyway, we have all been there, done that and nobody's perfect and yes, God forgives and you should forgive yourself too! Much love and hugs and total understanding with this post today!!!<br />thanks for posting it!<br />tarapakostahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14844321396555037225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2557524267448343048.post-20320765965173738642011-09-10T05:45:53.160-07:002011-09-10T05:45:53.160-07:00Hi.

You put those thoughts into honest words and made me cry.
