I liked the title of your post. It is well thought out and honest. Your use of photos helped to make your effort personal and engage the reader. I find it interesting that as I browse the Hive site that the effort and quality of a post is not always rewarded - more often than not, good quality work is not rewarded despite the presence of curators. I appreciated what you wrote and upvoted you with my meagre vote, but wanted to encourage you. You obviously are a thoughtful, caring person and a good mother.
