We are Guardians of Their Light
Protecting the inner light of our children is more important than 99% of the things parenting is usually about.
Right after reading this blog I went straight to my 18 yr old daughter and told her that she’s a firefly.
I walked with her arm in arm to the kitchen as she went to fetch a glass of chocolate milk.
I said “Kiddo I want to tell you that you remind me of a Firefly.”
She said “Why, because I’m like a really good SciFi show that got cancelled after 2 seasons?” – she’s very funny!
I said “Yes, of course… And because you shine from within.”
She got her trademark little smile on her face and just said “Cool”
I feel so blessed.
There’s nothing like putting learning into immediate action!
