Lisa, this really resonates with me, especially during times of extreme frustration with my youngest. I wish I had had moments of realization such as this when she was younger. "Love holds every color..." beautiful.

Thank you, Karri! My youngest also seems to be the one who came along to disrupt any notion I may have had that I had the whole parenting thing figured out. One of the things I’m trying to live into (over and over again) is the idea that my mistakes (just like his) are actually opportunities to repair and then connect at a deeper level. I don’t think it’s ever too late to do that work - though of course it would have been oh-so-much easier if I had known from his first moment of life all the things that I know now.
