They depend on us ...
I read this line in one of those "inspirational emails" I got today:
"To the world, you may be just a person,
But to a person, you may mean the world".
When I see those beady eyes looking up at me in love, anticipation and wonder, it is the ultimate image of a small person looking at his or her world. It's easy to ignore, rebuff or even find them overbearing at times - but it is important to look at ourselves through their young eyes. We ARE their world, their inspiration and their whole life.
This is a privilige that all parents have - weather they choose to accept and embrace it or not. But the truth is, it will not be that way for long because once they grow up, they also grow "out". Take the time today to love your young ones and show them that you will be that wonderful world to them.
