In reply to Kate. I’m not sure. She never said in the story.

What is the title of the cathedral book that was so inspirational to her? I’d like to look at it.

In reply to Kim Busby. This is beautiful! Thank you for sharing. It can be hard to see exactly what we are building when we are in the thick of it all. Sounds like you have raised some wonderful sons.

I absolutely love this! ♡ I gave up continuing college and a career to be a stay at home mom and raise our boys. My husband worked long hours and we sacraficed many material things to live the life we wanted for our boys. I don’t regret one minute of it!!! I then began to work again once they were in school. I made sure the jobs I have held over the years have been flexible so that I could always be involved in the boys activities and lives. Our boys are now 24 and 26 yrs old… they have completed 4 yrs of college and are productive members to society. Many people approach my husband and I and tell us how they admire our boys and how proud we must be…. they have no idea! There is no greater work of art than that which we create within our children. We are proud of our “catherdals” they have truly turned out beautiful!! 🙂

In reply to Rachel Wilson Yeates. I'm so glad you liked it. I agree, I feel so lucky to get to stay home with my boys and give them more of me, even if it was a really hard decision to make. It was the best decision and I haven't regretted it!

Kara,
Thanks for sharing. After I had my second child I chose to stay home with my little ones. It was a hard transition, but I feel pretty lucky to be able to throw my whole self into being a mom. Love the story, I needed to read that today. Motherhood is so hard, but so incredibly amazing all at the same time!
