What a blessing to have this anchor of strength, this moral compass to guide you through your life. How sad it must have been to lose her so young, and so quickly. I'm so sorry about that for you. But what you have accomplished, between your fight to gain your own personal freedom, to dissolve and escape the clutches of a toxic partnership, to maintain control of your own life and the focus to raise your children with such resolve, shows what a monumental impact the way she raised on you had on who you are and what you can do. I'm glad that stuck with you, and I'm glad you're passing it on to the next generation. I'm sure you're right -- it's obvious she would have been proud of your kids, but even though you're not trying anymore, I think it's pretty apparent she would have been proud of you, too.
