"There are two gifts we should give our children; one is roots, and the other is wings"                                                                                                                                   

Today was a day that was full of emotion.  My oldest son, Konrad, went to work.  It was his first day.  I was so proud of him.  But so nervous too.  Looking at him as he came out of his room all dressed and ready to go.  He was full of nerves.  I tried to be strong and positive for him.  Deep inside myself I was a wreck.  My husband and I dropped him off.  It reminded me of when we dropped him off for his first day of Kindergarten.  He was full of apprehension then and today.  I could see it in his face.  He said he was nervous.  Again, we gave him words of encouragement and said our good byes.  Watching him walk away was hard, today and back then.  Each time I wanted to run out of the car and say "Get back in here. You're not ready." But I had to take a deep breath, both times, and allow those wings to grow.  

Roots are the easy part.  The foundation is love.

Wings are where it's tough.  To give them wings you must let go.  

CHEERS TO REVIN UP.

(even if today was tough)
