Children Quote by Mary Katharine Ham

“I asked that my friends and family hold me accountable for living life unafraid. A traumatic loss meant that I was primed to see threats everywhere. But I knew that my big fears would make the lives of my children small if I couldn't control them. They deserved more from me than that.” quote by Mary Katharine Ham
