The Silence Was Part Of The Story

For 25 Years, I Did Take My Responsibilities As A Pleaser Of Others Sufficiently Seriously.

The Silence Was Part Of The Story I Wanted To Tell.

One Of The Sad Realities Of Being A Parent Is That The Same Stuff You Know Is Exciting, Educational, And Enriching In Your Child'slife Is Often Messy, Smelly And Exhausting To Deal With.

Before I Had Children I Always Wondered Whether Their Births Would Be, For Me, Like The Ultimate In Gym Class Failures. And I Discovered Instead... That I'd Finally Found My Sport.

I Have No Doubt That Over The Years My Children Will Find Plenty Of Things About Me To Criticize. But Something Tells Me That Twenty Years From Now Not One Of Them Will Sit On Some Therapist's Couch Complaining Because Their Mother Didn't Spend Enough Time Vacuuming Up Glitter.
