“Everything else will fall into place. In God’s time, with patience and loads of hard work. It’s so very true that, nothing good ever comes easy

Jackie replied to her son, “Don’t say that, you’re not a pain. You were confused and uncertain and that comes with all things- growing up and growing up means taking risks.”
