Do you remember Christine McFadden? She has been on the Oprah show a few times. She had four children. Her ex husband came to her house one morning and shot and killed all four of them. She could not move on. Every time she has been on the show I have cried and cried. She is always in my heart. She came on a second time and like 16 viewers were touched by her and choose life. She gave them hope. She was on again today. The story still upsets me. However, she has found love again with a new husband and twin girls.
Being a mother is the hardest thing you have ever done in your life. As rewarding and fulfilling it is, it is hard. There are so many days and moments that I just want to give up! Walk out the door and never look back. Then I think about the life they would have. They would always be telling themselves, " what did I do, why was I not good enough" etc etc.... As you know I am not one to just give up I am a fighter.
God has given me new life. He gave me the best man on earth and four beautiful, wonderful, intelligent, loving children. I have gifts. I feel blessed. I have gratitude for what I have and the responsibilities that God has given me. I have the job of raising and teaching my children how to continue this ( I cant even put it into words) Christine's story puts it into perspective for me.
I was overwhelmed with joy for Christine. I am soo happy for her. Yet, I will always have her and her story close to my heart.

I remember her. What a horrible, horrible story. The same thing happened to a woman in Texas- her ex had their 2 daughters for visitation and had them call the mom. He shot them while they were on the phone with her. It makes me literally sick.
I am so glad that she's ofund someone to help fill her life with joy.
All moms feel like they need to get away sometimes. But all the good moms stick around. :)
