From Melony H. (who used to be a teen in the youth group in my church, but who is now a 20-something mom): “Suzie, Many years ago you told me to give my mom 5 hugs in a course of a week, do you remember that? I finally gave her that hug the other day, it’s been 15 years since I’ve hugged her. It was a little weird but it’ll get better the more I do it. Thank you so much for writing The Mom I Want to Be. I would have never looked through my parents eyes and understood what they were feeling when they were raising us. I have forgiven them because you helped me see.”
