I am a mother of five and I understand how you can question how Sarah can do all this. You are seeing her through your eyes. I am sure that you are doing a terrific job of trying to handle all that comes your way and can’t imagine handling anything more.

What I can tell you is, that Sarah can handle all this.
I raised five children, held a full time job, wrote a nationally published book, started a corporate office for an international company, even was the President of the PTA. Everyone always asked how I could do it all. Well, some of us are just built differently and we just can do it.

The proof is in the pudding. My children are now all grown and starting their own families. We are still very close. We needed each other and still care about each other. One is a Fellow at the Univ. Of Michigan in graduate studies for social welfare, one is a missionary pastor in France, one is a leading mortgage broker, one founded a technology company, and one is the manager of a health gym. Finer young adults I could not find. Prouder mom I could not be.

You are not alone in your journey, nor is Sarah. Instead of judging her from your vantage point, cheer for her and support her. Her family will appreciate your support. Remember, it takes a village… You and Sarah are not alone.

And once I read about Sarah Palin, I immediately thought of you but then I thought of me — because her son was born when she was forty-something. Oh, and because it always comes back to me.
It’s going to be an interesting two months, that’s for sure.
