At least I think it may be, not too much of a baseball stats kind of gal.

weeks, a trying amount of time for a husband to have to travel away from his family.
His travel is over, and I have learned a great deal through it. A lot about myself, communication, and asking for help.
However, I think I may have grown the most in is appreciation for my mom. My dad traveled for work all my youth. It was hard on us as children, but I never grasped how hard it was for my mom. Until now.
This past season of life has fostered a larger appreciation for the woman who walks the path of life ahead of me, stops, turns, and offers her hand in help and understanding as I stumble and falter as a mom.
Today, as I look at my daughters, I hope that I can do the same for them when, Lord willing, they are blessed to be moms.
