This made my chest tighten a bit, having two daughters of my own and the desire to protect and shield them, but also allow them to be independent and strong. So how does a mother do all that? You ask good questions and provide food for thought through your examples and also through the testament of the amazing young women you’ve raised: be there, do your best, live your life, and be there. What stronger example of a mother can there be?
Wow. Thanks for your loving words! Yes, like you said, it is a balance, a fine balance. But there are so many blessings and moments of grace in between that you survive the challenging stuff.
And really, parenting is so much about finding teaching moments and sharing your wisdom, which is why you’re so naturally wonderful at it. What they do with that when they get older and think they know it all, is on them. 🙂
Nice <3 <3 <3
