It’s not only children who grow. Parents do too. As much as we watch to see what our children do with their lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours. I can’t tell my children to reach for the sun. All I can do is reach for it, myself. ~Joyce Maynard
One of the biggest lessons I am learning is how to grow up. I am annoyed at how this is a life long pursuit, rather than a window of time that I magically pass through. My parents continue to teach me about grace, laughter, the ability to be silly, appreciation for others, generosity, and love. I do not understand how they keep loving me, especially when I am irritable towards them. And yet, they continue to pour forth love into my life.
I learn from their example. I learn from time spent with them. I learn from their stories.
Mom & Dad, I love you! and thanks!
What have you learned from your parents lately?
