I love this quote from “At The Edge of Summer”. by Jessica Brockmole,
“Yearning for home, yearning for those warm safe days of childhood, doesn’t halt our steps forward. It doesn’t mean we regret or fear. It means that we’re built of so much more than our present or future. We have the past to stand on -- and we are stronger for it.”
It makes me think of how grateful I am for my past -- for my parents and extended family, for my neighborhood, my schools, my experiences.
And I hope I have provided that kind of strong past for my children.
