I have often pondered what my role in this life is. Do I have some grand purpose, something on a large scale that "helps save the world"? or does my presence, just being me, do something to make something better?  Life is so busy that sometimes I don't stop to breathe. I turn around and my daughters are growing and maturing.  But I am there, through the tears and the heartache.  Maybe just "being there" is enough.  Maybe I matter to them.  I heard that a mother is God in a child's eyes.  could my grand purpose be just that, being their mom?  if so, then that's good enough for me.
