Book Cover & Preview Text
I get asked so often, what is the single, most important thing I want to accomplish as a mother. My response is always the same because I am so sure of my answer. I want my children to feel as if they always were and always will be the most important people on this earth to me. I want them to know that no matter how angry or disappointed I am in their actions or decisions, I will always be there for them. I want them to understand that while always being their biggest cheerleader and supporter, I will likewise be their biggest critic to help mold them to become the individuals I know they are capable of becoming. I want to model for my children that God is the beginning and end of everything, He is the center of our lives and without Him, we are nothing. I want each of my children to always remember that they were the best thing I ever did in my life and that despite the thousands of mistakes I’ve made along the way, I wish I could take each one back, but know that they’ve made me a better and wiser mother. So what do I want to accomplish as a mother, more than anything else? I want my children to know that I gave 200% of my entire being into being their mother; that my entire purpose in this life, was to bring them into the world, love them, and to help pave their way towards happiness. If I accomplished that, then I’ve accomplished it all. —Regan Long
