We look forward to your comments.
I subscribed to your wonderful magazine for four years, at first
while my babies were being conceived, carried and born, and later
when I (unexpectedly) became a lone parent to them. I often found
The Mother challenging and thought-provoking, and I always found
it inspirational and engaging. Your pages always managed to reflect
the balancing trick that as parents we strive to master, that
of offering support in testing times, in sharing joy in fabulous
times, and in providing constancy and stability. During that time,
my – and my children’s - experience of lone parenting
taught us many lessons in sadness and anger, in love and in letting
go, and most rewardingly in finding strength, joy and inspiration
in each other.
I let my subscription slip from my busy life a year or so ago,
and I often missed the sense of community that exists within The
Mother. I have renewed for 2008, in celebration of the two amazing
and precious souls that have come into our lives: those of my
partner, and our beautiful daughter. Another lesson; that only
when you truly and totally set free the hope of something, does
it manifest itself. How wonderful!
I can’t wait to receive copies of your magazine again,
and to see how it too has evolved, and I hope that all is well
with you.
