I hate to dispense advice on this blog. There’s too much of that going around these days. But I read something today that rang true with me, and it seemed like such an important thing, that I thought I’d better at least write it down here, even if I didn’t make it look or sound like advice.
For those of you who don’t have kids and are planning to, make sure that you savor those moments when you come home and are treated like a rock star by your child. Leah was home with Ava today, and when I got home from work, Ava was standing in the window waiting for me. After I put my bike in the garage and came back out where she could see me, she waved madly and knocked on the window and smiled so widely I almost thought she was crying until I got up to the window and saw she was bouncing on her toes in anticipation.
It’s one of the best things in life. And I know it won’t last. Which makes it even sweeter.
