The prompt:






My beautiful son… I still remember how I held him as a baby, lost in the wonder of tiny fingers and toes, his trust in me absolute. He was always so happy and bright.

Can he forgive me that I didn’t stand by his side?

My lovely daughter… still young enough to look up at me for guidance, but old enough already to doubt my decisions.

Can she forgive me that I didn’t stand up for her brother?

Looking into the mirror of my children’s faces I see the broken pieces of our family.

Oh God! What have I done?

It always surprised me when Jennifer went along with Craig.. at first... when he "disowned" Justin.... she seemed the type that would love her children no matter what... thankfully she came around in the end...Thanks...

Heart-breaking! But Jen is a strong woman.
Loved it, sweetie!

You'd be amazed at how children can forgive their parents. Great fic.

that was really beautiful,thanks,Rena. I can understand why Jenniffer struggled here. I think she made up for it later,though.
