I had lots of and during those years. Graduated from high school . Thought I was in love, got married and had two kids by the time I was 22. Worked for the family business and did day care on the side. Caught the husband cheating the year I was 25 , (just so nobody gasps in horror, this was not the wonderful man, Mr. Kartoffel-haddi blues, that I am married to now and have been for over 14 years).
Looking back on those years I now realize how many foundations of my life’s lessons were learned during those years. Those lessons helped make me a better mother, a better wife and I think a better person.
