Your child needs your presence more than your presents. – Jesse Jackson

Never apologize for being sensitive or emotional. It’s a sign that you have big heart, and that you aren’t afraid to let others see it. Showing your emotions is a sign of strength.

If you are positive, you’ll see opportunities instead of obstacles.

“We must understand that sadness is an ocean, and sometimes we drown, while other days we are forced to swim.”
