Hi everybody You are right, Pln, it's up to us turn bad things into good one. My understanding of 'everythings happens for a reason' can be understood in many ways. Certain things happen to us in order to get us sleeping on that and take that as a lesson. I believe that history won't reapeat itself too and I think you might be a good mother :)
It's hard to evaluate what a good mother/father is, isn't it? There are many mothers and fathers in here and you all may have the same opinion as mine, even though I'm not a father yet. :) Have a very nice friday you all!!!
