It is recognising we made an error and how we put it right afterwards that counts’.
All anyone can expect of us if to be human, to mess up sometimes but to have done our best. To know when it went wrong, to say sorry and to try and repair things. As a daughter I know all I ever want from my parents is to know that they did the best they were able to do, with love. As a mother I know that is all I can hold myself accountable for and all my children can expect from me.
Helen you deliver all of the above, to a far higher degree than many people can ever dream of pulling off. Congratulate yourself for that amazing feat, celebrate having daughters who know that about you and believe that no matter where you are conducting yourself it is always 100% to the very best of your ability – you simply are not capable of anything less.
