This Day Was Hard

October 4, 2016

Parent/Child

Right now my kids are still so connected to me, so pliable, so gut wrenchingly transparent and forthright. What happens when someday they meet a friend who suggests to them that what they have with me can be found somewhere else?

It’s the soul searching questions that make me long for a longer walking path, one that could take us hours past bedtime into discovery and intimacy a school week schedule rarely allows.

Don’t be afraid to study your children. You are not parenting some generic children of a nameless generation, you are parenting your kids and must parent in response to their individuality.

I am here to teach my kids they are beautiful, special, and unique, and yet their efforts in the world should aim not to claim that specialness and live in its glory, but to find it and draw it out in others.

My dress, loose in the water, floated around me and I felt simultaneously ethereal and grounded, other-worldly stuck to this spot in this pool in this moment for the rest of time. I couldn’t wait for the moment, the memory, to disappear and yet clung to it so I would never forget, never forget to hold him for the rest of my life.

The changes in you lately are important ones, small and yet so huge the world turns on them. This is maturity. I see it in you.

Sometimes we do things as parents that we worry will scar our children, and we sit with that fear and let it fester instead of recognizing the power that we have to turn a bad situation into good.

If we remember that our job is not to shield them from trials but to teach them to successfully navigate their way through, we can begin to see challenges as blessings.

I will take the time to look at you when you speak to me, to hear the words you say, and to listen your heart cry when the words never reach your lips.
