A warm welcome to all who enter and may peace be with you always... We as true parents know that raising children is a privilege... not a right and when two people invite these little jewels to our party we call life... you can't change your mind after they arrive and send them back... They didn't ask to be here and now that they're here, can't ask them to leave, turn off the lights, move or not
prepare the feast that they deserve. I can only marvel at those Parents that understand their sacred duty and haven't put their tails between their legs and run... Divorce not only the spouse but the children as well or abuse and mishandle these precious gems... I am reminded of the song "I am woman" I have forgotten who wrote it and/or sang it... but the lines ring clear... " Yes! I am wise! and it's
wisdom born of pain and Yes! I've paid the price! BUT look how much I've gained... If I have too I can do any thing!..." SO true to all the parents that realize that this party we throw everyday... with all the food... all the fighting... all the hosting... all the entertaining... all the silly behavior... ALL the hoops and obstacles we go through everyday... These are what allows us... as individuals, our homes and our lives to be
alive... no longer stagnant and in limbo... From these young people in our care... we can ask for a kiss and our little jewels... without blinking an eye or any resentment or conditions attached... give us that big hug and kiss and it is done with all the sincerity and love that a single person can have... and... they give it all up to the ones that stayed by their side.
".... But Look At What We've Gained..." My awe goes out to everyone and anyone that has achieved this blessing... The price is a high one and the rewards are priceless... and bare in mind it is only to those that are not weak in spirit... Congratulations! During the evening hours give that extra thank you for that bundle of pain...Opps joy... OOPS... OK whatever he or she may be acting like... TeeHeeHee..... Grab that glass of
wine or beer... find a corner and listen.. just listen... to your house and the sounds it makes... you might hear tears, or laughter, yelling, giggling, or just the sound of another breathing... but you know? Your house is alive.! It holds the childhood dreams and memories of another human being. And these people will go out into the world and tell all those they meet about these memories and that person that they call dad or mom... Yes!... We as parents will unleash these things out onto the
world to multiply... good or bad they will multiply those feelings generated in your home and mine... And maybe... just maybe my son may meet your daughter... And their house and home will come alive too... with these sounds... and dreams... and memories... To the true parents: You hold a piece of the puzzle, enjoy!... It is in your straight... being that you too did not run and hide like a pitiful scrounge creature... that the world will be strong... Peace to you and yours... The world is
a better place because of you! Thank you!!!! -Robin
