Wisdom arrived from someone she expected to be teaching.

A life lesson I learned from my oldest son: It is ok to allow yourself to feel the "things" in life. If you harden yourself you won't be able to learn and grow and most times not make that same mistake again. I became better at being less hard on myself and others.
My daughter reminded me that she will always be there for me just, like I am for her.
My son and I go to different gyms and we encourage each other. He saw me since his birth going to the gym.
My daughter taught me that loving someone doesn't mean you can save them. Sometimes the greatest act of love is to stop trying to fix someone and simply walk beside them, believing in who they can become, even when they can't yet see it themselves.
My kids taught me that perfect planning means nothing. What matters is the ability to reset expectations and respond in real time.
My daughter taught me that despite having POTS, narcolepsy, and rumination syndrome, she can and does defy all odds with her personal and educational journey. She shows the world every single day that she will overcome any obstacles to have a life she wants and most certainly deserves.
