\n

If you are mom (or if you happen to know one) you know that everyday life as a mother is both wonderful, demanding, scary and stressful \u2014 all at once.<\/p>\n

A mom\u2019s life is full of trials and often a mess in the form of sticky hands, spilled milk, stains and loads of laundry.<\/p>\n

And when you think you finally have everything done, there\u2019s always a new pile of laundry or new stain waiting.<\/p>\n

We often resort to laughing the \u2018misery\u2019 off \u2014 but it can nevertheless be very frustrating.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s only normal for us to feel like we\u2019re running out of patience now and then.<\/p>\n

Heather Duckworth is a mom who knows all this as much as any other \u2014 but she also has a crucial reminder for mothers around the world, which everyone needs to see.<\/p>\n

Sadly, it was an unimaginable tragedy that led to her insight into this.<\/p>\n

Heather Duckworth is in many ways a mom like any other, but one thing makes her stand out.<\/p>\n

She lost her young son on June 12, 200, and has since been working hard to share her important message with all parents.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

In 2019, Heather shared her story on Facebook under the heading \u201cThe Blue Stain\u201d. As you read it for yourself, you quickly understand why it is pulling at so many people\u2019s heartstrings.<\/p>\n

Everything began as Heather was picking up some slime off the floor that her daughter had dropped. It\u2019s then that everything became obvious to her\u2026<\/p>\n

Her daughter had done her best to clean up the stain left by the slime, but Heather naturally had to get in there too and help.<\/p>\n

She was, as natural for any parent, annoyed by the situation. But as she began muttering under her breath, she suddenly remembered a different stain\u2026<\/p>\n

A stain from 14 years prior. At that time, Heather had of two-year old triplets as well as a four year old little boy. She did not have her daughter yet.<\/p>\n

On this particular evening, she was struggling to get her 4 active boys into bed. With four young children in the house, life was nothing but a tornado of activity and non-stop chaos.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
