"When I was a little girl I couldn't wait to grow up so I could......
This is week 3's blog challenge.....
I have been sitting on this for sometime and was not going to answer... but thought I would try and explain my reasons..... My childhood is all pretty much a blank.....and I really did not want to think about it actually. It saddens me when I try to remember things and its like I have no memory of anything..... Things are so limited in what I remember.....
A little while I go I had to try and remember parts of my childhood and when I received the forms and read all the questions I was like OMG..... I became totally overwhelmed with saddness..... what was I going to write..... how can we block so much of our lives out..... It totally sent me for a six and I had nightmares and could not sleep for days.... I would go to bed at night and cry myself to sleep thinking about how unfair everything was and WHY this happened.....the system had failed MY family.
So if I probably did think about this as a little girl... I would probably say ..... I couldn't wait to grow up so I could have a family of my own ..... to have some to love ME and to be loved back.... To give my children everything that I didn't have as a child and MORE...
Thanks for Reading.... this was defintely hard for me to write.... Thanks again Terri for a great challenge :) Its probably things I would not share with anyone but my closest friends....
Have a good day everyone!

Well done Brenda - I know how difficult is must have been for you to share this!
You have achieved your dream - you have a beautful family and you are a wonderful mum!
Hi Brendy,
This must not have been an easy post to put out there at all...reading your profile about your kids and also what you had to say in this post, I can see that you have risen above and beyond the challenges that have been handed out to you.
I had a lovely look through your creations too - they are all so beautiful!
