| Quite a few years ago, I remember thinking to myself after a less-than-ideal day of parenting that while I had spent the first two years of each of my children’s lives wishing they would walk and talk, all I wanted at that moment was for them to just sit down and be quiet! But now, I look at the two empty beds where my college-aged twins once laid their heads every night and at the top of my 12-year-old’s head, which is already at my eye level, and I take great satisfaction in what I have today: two almost-adults (they’d argue the “almost” part) and another one closing in fast. Somehow, they miraculously figured out how to use the potty all by themselves, tie their shoelaces, and even fix themselves a plate of food. Who are these three people who read the same books I do, laugh at the same silly jokes as I do, and view the world from a similar paradigm? |

It’s just a little bit sweet and completely filling. |
