I stood marveling at how it all comes down to wiping tears and runny noses - this parenthood thing.  In the end the rest really is up to the child.  This is how we grow as human beings we watch, we learn, we try, we fail, we try again, and no matter what at something at the right time, we triumph.  Through it all, if we are lucky, we have our family - whether that's a mother, father, uncle or aunt - someone who tells us we can do it, over and over and when we do occasionally fall down is there to wipe our tears or nose and tell us to try again - because having gone before us, in their own way on their own path, they have learned that everything will indeed be all right.  

I'm off in Montana visiting my GREAT niece, which quite frankly I am too young to have, and it's amazing to see how a family grows.  Remembering together all the stories of days gone by with my Mother and Sister and then watching one niece and nephew grow from a little pea pod to adulthood and now motherhood.  It's a bitter sweet reminder of how life passes quickly and also how much you can either pack into it or take away from it.  I am enjoying the gift of this time together and knowing these stories will be added to our family tree as it continues to grow.
