--time is a tree (this life one leaf)
but love is the sky and i am for you
just so long and long enough
Certain things you do, like obsessively trying to get all the bubbles off yourself during a bath, make me feel like i am getting a tiny glimpse into your daddy’s (obsessive-compulsive) childhood.
Good morning Charleston.
Happy fifth anniversary my love. You are a treasure.

The primary goal of parenting, beyond keeping our children safe and loved, is to convey to them a sense that it is possible to be happy in an uncertain world, to give them hope. We do this, of course, by example more than by anything we say to them. If we can demonstrate in our own lives qualities of commitment, determination, and optimism, then we have done our job and can use our books of child-rearing advice for doorstops or fireplace fuel. What we cannot do is expect that children who are constantly criticized, bullied, and lectured will think well of themselves and their futures.
