Perfect Post - The wait and wonder
Posted on March 2, 2008
Filed Under awards |
One of the most exciting aspects of parenting is the wonder. You eagerly await to see what traits your child will inherit. You wonder what passions and talents she or he will develop. You know your child has limitless potential. So you dream and hope. And when your child develops various interests? You do your best to cultivate those passions.
Amanda of Tumble Dry recently wrote a post called Ropin the Moon that captures the essence of that parental excitement as well as the yearning to nurture our children’s interests.
“From the first time Sean put headphones on my pregnant belly, we had dreamt of having a piano. Now we knew that girls had the music gene. It seems such an essential thing, this nurturing of passion, particularly musical or artistic, and so the yearning began to burn. I had looked casually for months, scanning classifieds and online auctions, but never taking it too seriously.A piano for our girls. How could we possibly afford it? Where would we find it? How would we move it?”
Do they find a piano? You’ll have to read her story to find out. Amanda’s excitement and motherly pride radiate in the way she tenderly tells this story. That’s why I chose this entry for a February Perfect Post award.
