It’s been a long week of Spring Break. The last couple of days in particular have been a repeating chorus of “watch me!” “Look at this!” “Follow me!”
Today I found myself groaning as I got out of my chair to follow her again. Then I realized that as recently as last year, she wasn’t sharing things with us like this. She was doing her own thing, and she never brought her pictures in for us to see, or asked us to listen to the music she made. So yeah, maybe a million requests for attention a day feels like a burden sometimes, but it’s really a tremendous gift. My daughter wants to share her life with me. And I’m grateful.
