I've missed a couple of home going celebrations of family members over the years due to other "important" occasions, and if I could do it all over again, I would. <br /><br />I've learned even more now that my son is a young adult, how we teach our children more about life through our actions and decisions we make. There isn't a right or wrong decision in your delimma, but there's so much your baby will learn by watching you, such as sometimes we have to sacrifice our desires in order to be there for others (like Jesus did when he died for our sins), and the importance of honoring elders and extended family. <br /><br />I thought I made right decisions at the time thinking my child would be scarred if I wasn't there for every milestone, but little did I realize he would grow up to crave the experience of a large extended family. We all know most extended families gather for funerals if no other time. This is important for children to experience. <br /> <br />We will never get everything right in parenting and there's always something we'll look back and regret. Your baby will remember this game, but he'll also remember the important value of family you've instilled in him by choosing to go the your Nana's funeral. <br /><br />Watch you baby's game on video tommorow and scream everytime he shoots a hoop or catches a pass!

Give yourself a great big hug and know that you are doing a great job as a Mom. We can see that in your children's eyes, their bright smiles and the LOVE they show to everyone.
