Your kids need to know your story - it has made you who you are. I still think you need to write a memoir and I'll go with you on tour as your personal assistant.Treatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03704314265525196864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3793394081160776023.post-71556361685883847052016-10-25T21:03:28.530-07:002016-10-25T21:03:28.530-07:00I remember thinking about you all during that peri...I remember thinking about you all during that period too. I do think giving kids a chance to look outside of themselves is a good thing, I think it will definitely make my kids more thoughtful in that regard. jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07838483837544607699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3793394081160776023.post-29197103821318620502016-10-25T07:45:58.171-07:002016-10-25T07:45:58.171-07:00One of the difficulties of life and death times in...One of the difficulties of life and death times in our lives is that we revisit the OTHER life and death times in our lives. I think it may be one of the gifts, too, as we can learn to give ourselves compassion for all those other losses while we deal with the current losses, too. I was worried that the girls were going to be scarred for life after watching Tim cartwheel down the mountain in 2009; one reassuring thing that someone told me was that the tough times can give kids the opportunity to grow in compassion and gentleness, especially when there feelings are handled with compassion. I'm pretty sure that's been true for us, even if there's some scarring, too.<br /><br />Sharing these times together is one of the best parts of being human, if it totally sucks to have these times. Thanks for sharing with us.Lisa McDermotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09063836641188521263noreply@blogger.com
