Pondering the commandment to honor your father and mother. 
I'm thinking about all the times I've felt like I've failed my kids, broke my kids, screwed up my kids. And that's probably a lot. Like, we have a jar where I put money when I swear. Like, I have a therapy fund for my kids. But never did I ever start out with the intention to be a crappy mom. And hopefully the good outweighs the negative in the end. 
Learning this about myself has helped me be more free to honor my own mom and dad. My parents are awesome people. They give their all to their family. They are awesome grandparents and I am grateful to have them in my life and in my kids lives.
Today is my Dad's birthday. Happy birthday, Dad! Love you, Mom.
