Mmm, I know what you mean about feeling that perhaps you have not accomplished much with your life. I sometimes think the same thing. Here I sit with a degree and everything, years of schooling, but I don't work a 'real' job, what have I done? I haven't done anything remarkable. But I have -- I'm a wife and a mother and I have two gorgeous girls who are smart and happy and (fairly, heehee) well adjusted. They are amazing and wonderful, and they are what I've done.
And you have Charlie - and the hubby, lol - and Charlie is an amazing, thoughtful, caring child with a great mom. He is lucky and so are you. But when he did this :"Don't worry, Mommy, we can have a play here." and he offered to get me flowers., didn't you just know exactly what it is you've done, and how well you've done it, and feel lucky for it? Yes? Then that's what counts.
