The boundless love a parent has for their child is matched only by their capacity to embarrass them.
Tips for Parents: How to Avoid Quarrels When Children Share the Same Room
Here are some tips for parents on how to avoid quarrels between siblings when their children share the same room.

Parents, Don’t Lie to Teenagers, Even If the Goal Is Noble

Mother
Dear Mother, First of all I want to say, I love you. I will always love you. I have great memories of you. Even though you gave birth to and raised 12 children, you had a life outside of raising us. You had the greatest voice. Every time we visited someone’s church; you were requested to sing. You would sing with such sincerity and meaning, that as you sung, I would feel a cool chill run down my back. I remember when you directed the Santa Rosa community choir that consisted of choirs from 3 different churches joined together as one. After the community choir performed at the Sonoma County Fair, we were asked to come to KDIA radio station to sing. That was an honor. I also think of us moving back to the San Francisco Bay Area and you pulling together the choirs of two different churches to put on Christmas Concerts at the San Francisco War Memorial building. Growing up I remember you performing as a part of a singing group consisting of about 4 or 5 women. You ladies really put on a show. After I became a young adult, you were still organizing, teaching and conducting choirs. You helped put together the West Coast Zion Singers. We were the first group that performed at a graduation ceremony for John Addams Community College. It was recorded on a reel-to-reel tape. I wish we could have got a copy of that recording from the school. That was one of our greatest performances, a 16-piece band ensemble accompanying us. Everyone really enjoyed you leading songs and the solos you sung. Too bad no one thought about pursuing a recording contract for you. You were one of the greatest singers that ever graced this earth, and I’m not just saying this because you were my mom.

My Mom, My Hero
My unsung hero is without a doubt my Mother, Diane. My Mom didn’t want children initially, and as someone who struggles with the same doubt, I can relate to her hesitation. She eventually gave in, giving her biological clock the credit for bequeathing the throne of a childless life. But I think deeper than her body’s own timeclock was God’s timing and will for her. I believe my Mom was always meant to be a Mother but she fought her own fear, desires and temptation to remain free from the responsibilities of raising kids (as I do). She was a teacher, and she became my teacher both in the classroom and as my mother, so I know God gifted her dearly with the ability to teach, mentor and of course mother.
