You write the way I wish I could–say the words that are buried in my own heart! I would have been there too. And it would be no indulgence or sacrifice, just the only place in the world I would be.

I was so moved by your story about Henry. It went straight to my heart! When our children are doing what they love, it’s the best feeling in the world.

I’m sure it was fabulous and essential for you and your husband to be there. I agree!

Thanks for sharing. A great read. I always tell my friends who are new parents to pay attention to the little things as it is those moments that you will remember the most.

Love this! My oldest daughter is a gifted artist, her drawings are beautiful, and I am always going back in my mind to the day when she was 13 months old and no longer wanted the crayons I set in front of her, she wanted the markers with the finer tip, already knowing what to do from somewhere inside herself. I was hesitant to give them to her, but now am so glad I did! She was born with this gift, this knowing, this pull of what she would become. She is almost 18 and trying to figure out her future, I hope I can have faith and bear witness as well as you have with Henry. Thank you for an inspiring post right when I needed it!

Sandy, Believe me, I write about what I struggle with. I write to remind myself to do what I say. I write in an attempt to get to that letting-go place, over and over again. But I’m finally learning that in fact this is just one of those lessons that life keeps giving me an opportunity to learn. And that maybe the best we can hope for is a willingness to share the struggle, and the lessons, and the beautiful moments. So glad you’re here, sharing the journey!

You did it again, more tears. Having read your books and being a loyal follower of your blog I feel a ridiculous amount of shared pride in Henry (almost as if I too played a part in raising this child just by following along through you). Take a moment to be in awe of yourself this time because as much as Henry has achieved on his own; we all know that Henry had and has someone by his side who allowed him to reach his full potential. Your ability to step back when necessary is something I struggle with, my instinct is to micromanage. It’s hard to watch a 16 yr. old just be 16 when u see so much more.
