Speaking To My Teenage Heart
11/16/2016

Dear Dr. Laura:

If I did one right thing, it was choosing wisely, and then treating kindly.  In my late 20's, I committed to never getting married, because I wanted children, and I was only meeting "boys" - not men!  My life was full, with good friends, activities, travel and experiences.

Then BAM!  This man stomped into my life, and on our second date told me I was going to be his wife.  He then spent the next two years proving why I would be moronic to not choose him.  Twelve years and two kids later, I'm a stay-at-home mom and just today, he went into work late, because our son was up all night with a cough, and my husband knew I had been up with him.  He wanted to give me a chance to sleep in as well as cuddle with his boy and hand him tissue after tissue.  I never would have been here if not for you speaking truth to my teenage heart.  

Now that I'm in my 40's, you are still my guide and surrogate mother.  And to think I've never even sent you a thank you card.  I hope this makes up for that!
