They won’t fit in your box.

Unduplicatible

Yup. I made up that word.

One is a lover

One is a giver…

One is an encourager

One fights dismay…

One intrudes

One gives space…

One is expressive.

One is reserved…

One is ambiguous

One is direct…

One has no physical boundaries

One is disembodied….

One is emotionally helpful

One is tangibly…

One needs transparency

One needs privacy…

One is witty

One is deep…

One asks

One give hints…

One requires more

One requires less…

One is resilient

One takes time to show that…

One needs accolades

One simply doesn’t…

One needs spontaneity

One needs consistency…

One needs silence

One needs activity…

All need love

As parents we can never possibly meet all these needs but we can see them. We can acknowledge them and their gifts and uniqueness.

Most importantly, may we never forget that they all posses the ability to love, in their own way.

Don’t miss it.

It’s absolutely incredible, when we stop and see all of who they are. Putting them in a box will only limit them and us and ultimately our relationship with them.

It’s taken me almost 30 years to see this. I hope you are already seeing this in yourself first, in others, and in your children if you have them, if you don’t see this yet, I pray you see it sooner than I did. ❤️

Fearfully and wonderfully made, are we all!
