“Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.” — Elizabeth Stone
We are parents. We hope,
we worry, we love.
Always, we hope for you— for good health, bright minds, strength
of character and positive relationships throughout life.
From the moment
of conception, we worry over your physical well-being. From our
first contact, we worry about your emotional well-being. And from
your earliest interaction with others, we worry about your social well-being.
We love through the amazing joy
of discovering your uniqueness, and learn over and over again how this love
will continue to alter us, as a river unceasingly alters that over which it
flows.
When you encounter challenges,
regardless of their nature or source, we hope, we worry, and we love. And
so, we question you, nag you, and avail ourselves to you. But, we
also thank you— for the energy you give to
each other and to others, for your willingness to do the hard work to bring
about change, for your enduring childlike delight in discovering and
accomplishing, for the amazing and wonderful friends you have brought into our
lives.
And, in our family tradition of
cheering, we will end simply with a resounding “Lymphedema Run & Hike 2013!”
Cheers!
