I saw her happily practicing with a soccer ball, already having made friends with a girl in blue roughly her age. She didn’t look at all like she was shy and intimidated. I drove away knowing she would have a great day. And she did!
A big part of a parent’s job, I guess, is to expose one’s children to the wider world in stages and help them to “fly on their own.” When you see your child doing that, there is a happy feeling that springs up in your heart. I cherish and relish it. This is a gift my parents and guardians gave to me with love; this is the same precious gift I want to give my daughter!
