My mother was right.

Hayley will be 25 in February. When she was young my mother told me I should be recording all the events and things that I learned while raising her. I remember looking at my mom and saying, "Mom,  I don't want to remember." That just goes to show how deep my despair was at times. My mother was right. I should have written down this long journey. It would be worth it if it only helped one other person. You would think it would be a story of my daughter's progress, but you would find it was just as much a story of my own progress. For you see, I like who I am today much better than the person I was and I have my daughter to thank for that! 

Love, Susan (Mom)
