Winter Will Pass - Chicago Area Family Photojournalist

It's been a rough 48 hrs. Not my best mommy moment. Actually I would put it in the column, one of my biggest failure moments. It's only 16 days into 2012 and I am already having a BIG or as J says "Huge, Huge" failure?!... Deep sigh... YES... I am sad and very angry at myself.

How did I let this happen? What didn't I do? What could I have done? Why didn't I know?

How did I let this happen?

My hubby tells me, "I know what your thinking, your a bad mother. That's not the case, this is not your fault."

That's exactly how I feel. I have failed my family. It's a humbling feeling. It reminds me that I am not a perfect mom. It reminds me that I am a person of faith.

Yes I failed. I did, even if my wonderfully supportive hubby doesn't think so (or admit it).

I failed.

Just like the winter will pass...

This too shall pass.
