They crash into your life with unending demands. Clanging alarms requiring sacrificial efforts. Fulfillment seeps in as well – the snuggles, the smiles, the boundless list of “firsts.” Those cherished words – “I wuv woo.”
In time the demands lessen. Now everyone gets dressed, brushes teeth and gets a drink of water for themselves. They protest school work - yet play whole-heartedly. Pride and joy, along with teaching and training, fill your days.
Suddenly, they sprout much higher. Conversations spike – advice rejected. You push and pull and push and pull. Newfound independence leaves a hole of loneliness. A young adult is now emerging – and hopefully a friend.
