READY TO SOAR

As parents, we govern, protect and guide them for 18 years with the hopes of preparing them to spread their wings and soar from our nest with assurance and grace. However, as that time approaches, we are triggered by their statements or actions that cause us to panic and question if their “wings” are wide enough, strong enough or if they even have wings at all! 😂

For almost two decades we have been close enough to catch them; in many cases they did not even realize that it was our wings, not theirs, that were preventing them from crashing.

Mom….Dad…Let me assure you…you have done an AMAZING job and they will be just fine (breath). Trust what you have planted inside of them. Life will still cause a few scraps on their knee and perhaps even a bloody nose, but they will not be easily broken.
