It’s hard to be a teenager AND be far from home. They’ll get through it and one day look back and thank their lucky stars they had this opportunity. We all did! When you question your ability to be a mommy, look at the photo from your Sept. 18th post. You single handedly got that child to stop crying just by holding him. He sensed he was safe and was in awe of you! I saw it and it cracked me up at the time but is a huge sign you’ve got it in ya to be a fab mommy one day. Miss ya! XO- H

i think that you being worried about loving a kid too deeply is a good sign that you should be a mom. it would be far more worrisome if you weren’t tender-hearted.
