I owe this one to my friend, Fran. Years ago, when the children were young, and it was one of those days, she shared this tidbit of wisdom with me. I never forgot it and share it with other parents.
For those of you who are already parents, think back to moments in time when one of your children was struggling for whatever reason. You probably remember it being a particularly stressful time, despite all the other good things in your life.
Another fact: As your children age, the cause of sadness is generally more serious, and harder to resolve. It is probably one of the toughest tasks of parenthood, but also proof that there is a permanent tether between you and your children. We can't always kiss it and make it better, but we can support our child and let him/her know we care.
