Giving back by being present.

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward.

Since Father’s Day is Sunday I figured I would do a little tribute to my daughter’s father (and yes, my hubby). As my daughter turned 18 about ten days ago life seems to be flashing before my eyes. I am sure if you have grown kids you understand what I mean.

As an infant he would get up with her other and often fall asleep on the couch with her in her bouncy seat watching little einstein (classical music with animated brightly colored shapes). As she got older he taught her how to mow the lawn with a bubble mower and overalls. Over the years it has been physical things that he has taught (like driving a car) or modeling how a gentleman treats a lady.

I can’t imagine life without him. As life constantly changes he is definitely more flexible than me and has taught me resilience.

Who has helped you raise your kids? The neighborhood kids? Maybe you are the crazy aunt that buys ice cream at 3:00 to spoil their dinner. Whatever and whoever it is, I hope you have someone that supports you in this adventure.

Happy Crafting!

With inky fingers,

Joni 🙂
