Fragile

We are fragile as parents. We get worn down from things like waking up in the middle of the night, or just the persistent resistance of a two year old. Sometimes it wears us down to the point of snapping, and other times we manage to haul it all back together. When we fall apart we feel guilty and when we get it right we are proud of ourselves.
We learn about ourselves – the limits of our patience and the limitlessness of our love – and we grow, with each day bringing new experiences which lay the foundations for more patience and more love.
We are imperfect, but that is okay, because we don't need to be perfect to love.
