Being part of a family is all about acceptance...acceptance of each person as a unique individual with talents and abilities, strengths and weaknesses. As each of my children grow up, get married and start their own families, those differences become more apparent. Some of the wives are working outside the home. Some are stay-at-home moms. Each of the husbands chose different career paths, even within the same field. Some families are planning on homeschooling. Some are advocates of public school. The list goes on and on. But none of these things matter to me. There is more than one way to do things right and they all share the same belief structure and values so I have faith that each one is doing what is right for
their little family.
Whatever direction they go, I hope they know that they are loved, respected and accepted...unconditionally.

That final word and only that is what counts!
