Life’s lessons
One of the hardest things I face being a parent is letting my kids go. Giving them the room to grow up and experience things. I want to shield them. I don’t want them to experience pain. I want them always to be happy.
But that’s not the way life goes. Those painful experiences are supposed to teach us a lesson. We’re supposed to learn from them so we don’t repeat them. I get that, I truly do. It’s just hard for me to think about my kids experiencing pain of any kind.
I am just realizing my kids feel the same way. They don’t want their Mommie to hurt either. Earlier today I hurt my foot and they raced to me, making sure I was ok. It was nothing major but the look in their eyes really touched me.
I guess we’ll have to learn to let go together.
