This was back in 2000. This week, we return, both of us, and I’m helping our “not-a-baby-anymore” settle into London as work begins the very next day. Time truly flies.
A mother’s presence is so important, not just physically or financially, but emotionally and mentally. Sometimes we don’t even need to say much. We just need to listen. (That was something I had to learn, it didn’t come naturally.)
Our eldest can absolutely manage on her own, but having Mom nearby brings a different kind of comfort as she begins this new chapter in a new city. So many visits, so much planning and all leading to this moment.
We once moved to Canada for her, and we know that was the right decision. Now she wants to explore life in the UK, and we’re grateful she has the courage and the choice to do so.
When Kyle was born, she was 10. As parents, we just want to say this: parents will always love their children equally. Sometimes one child may need more attention or care, but that shift never means more love for one over another.
We are so fortunate to have all of them. Parenting is a huge responsibility, taking the initiative to build a special relationship to each child and we continue to learn from each of our children. The struggles, the milestones, the growth. Always grateful. ❤️ We are so proud and happy! Children. Siblings. Family.
