I have to mention that she was a kindergarten teacher, so she actually knew what she was talking about. <br />While my Godmother didn't tell me anything specific that I can remember, she treated me as an equal which made me feel great. She didn't have kids on her own, so she just figured she'd talk to me as she would with a halfway decent grown-up. <br />You're saying one important thing: it's not what they say, but the way they behave that makes an impression: action speaks louder than words!Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06945984135731336978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060250020509162205.post-1973571756567128452018-09-07T07:42:31.376-07:002018-09-07T07:42:31.376-07:00Aww Jules thank you for sharing. I'm sorry you... Aww Jules thank you for sharing. I'm sorry your mother said that to you about kids. Gigi is lucky to have you and vice versa. Sometimes bitter people speak negativity into our lives but we have the choice to overcome it, rise above and be better. I'm glad you chose that road.<br />My dad always said, "you grew up with nothing and that's all you'll ever have". He was wrong. I have everything. My life, my faith, friends, family, a supportive community of bloggers and so much more.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03215542444229937948noreply@blogger.com
