I just love your writing, Nell. I'm sorry you had such angst as a teen but it really hit home because my oldest daughter is on the verge of her 13th birthday. Sometimes I worry about whether her relationship with my husband is strong enough…could it be stronger…can we do more to make her happy…will her relationship with me survive her teen years…

It goes on and on, as only a mother can know.

New commenter here! This is a beautifully written post, Nell. Your children are simply adorable. So happy to see that the heartache in your teen years is healed today by your own beautiful family.

Lovely. I think that's a universal feeling – the angst of youth, feeling misunderstood and unloved – but how beautiful to see the culmination of it! I think that's a beautiful thing about God – even those prayers we've forgotten we prayed, he answers in his time.

By the way, I have to say how much I love your name. My granny was named Nellie (really truly) and often was called Nell for short. I love it so much and have often lobbied it as a name for our babies in the naming contests. it makes me happy to see it still out in the world.

@Stephanie: It really is, Steph. In some ways I feel so different, while in others I feel the same. Nell
