The children have been a source of great pride and joy. First their spouses came, wonderful people of achievement and love, who have brought so much to our family. Then there were the grandchildren, all of them so special in their own way. I ask for nothing more than the many happy years we have had, the good and the not so good, the joy and the pain. It has been such a rich life as a result.
Some women find satisfaction in a career outside the home.
I have been fortunate. I wanted to devote my life to my children and I had rich reward. There are so many to thank for this life of mine, and you will forgive me if I mention so few by name. And I treasure that experience and that period of our lives. If we never saw as much of each other as we wanted, we still knew we could rely on a sister.
