It would have to be my son's inoccence and sheer goodness. Which ironically is the thing that worries me about him, in his future. He knows mom is his #1 fan and greatest cheerleader. I will sit here and say, "it is easy all the time", the Lord knows it is not. But my son has taught me the meaning of "unconditional love".

Both my daughter's will power of listening with open minds. With Gab, I need to break certain issues down when misinterpretations take place. But once broken down, views things different. Sable, it's miscommunication, common with teens.
Happiness is like a high goal. Is it felt all the time, no. But I'm constantly reminding myself that anytime negative happens I need to turn it into a positive.
One thing that definitely makes me happy though, I really must say is how much my strength is viewed by my daughter's and soon to be ex. Sable & Gab are showing more courage, not afraid of challenges as bad anymore. Plus Bill, their father sees it. Now because of all he's seen with my inner strength is the one backing down, more than he ever did! Makes me happy because 1. Excellent role my daughter's will follow. 2. Confidence enhancement!!

Jake has compassion when someone gets hurt or crys he is the first one to run over to them to see if he can help he says you ok ill help

What a great question! My kids are truly unique. Difficult in their complexity but that is what makes me shake my head in awe as well. My son is a clown! He makes me laugh constantly. My youngest daughter sees the world in a realm of beauty that most people pass by without noticing. How dew drops contain rainbows and how bees must see the world. My oldest is a true hippie and says we should all see the good in each other.

Whenever I'm having one of my "Are you kidding me?!" moments, I really look for those things in each of them. It snaps me out of it and brings such joy to my life. Without that joy my days would be so much darker. I always try to let my kids know how much I appreciate them for just being who they are.

When he makes me laugh and let me tell ya; getting hugs from him is once in a huge while. So I enjoy getting hugs from my 14 year old boy when I can.
