the way we view the world

Audrey turned four on Saturday and Janey turned three on Monday.

My perception is that most people don't remember much about the first four years they are alive.

Yet all of the nurturing we do or don't receive is stored away in those little developing brains, not consciously remembered, but certainly a significant part of how we become who we are.

Parents have such power. Isn't that amazing?

Amazing, wonderful, and frightening all at the same time.

I look at my little grandson and wonder what he will take from the pain of his broken leg. More important, what will he take from his mother's patient and loving care?
