Hey (neil's W)... I appreciate how you've been a great mother to the girls during this difficult process. it takes a great deal of patience to do this. I admire that about you... I just wanted you to know.
think that would work?
Great start!! you're getting the hang of it.
I agree to take the "difficult process" out. but then what does 'do this' refer to??
What characteristic are you admiring & affirming her for. This takes work .. think about it.
Is it her patience? Is it her compassion & empathy? what does 'great mother' mean to you?
Then give an example NOT related to the sitch. but to your lives..
I know this is hard to do. Because to do this you have to 'notice' & 'pay attention'. Something we don't do once we take others for granted.
I can tell you want to do this.. rack your brains.. think of why you admire her. If she was asking you for a personal refernence.. what would you say about her?
Peace
