“Life is really a learning experience. I look back and think how I could have went down that wrong road and simply blamed my mother. But instead I knew that I wanted to be the complete opposite. I wanted to be the change. I wanted to be a good person. I still hold an empty place in my heart, but I must move on. I must be there for my children and show them what having a great relationship with their mother is all about. I want them to tell stories to their grandchildren about how much they loved their mother and how much their mother did for them.”
