But she is now a nice mix of both of us and her own little self. <br /><br />However, when she finds that what she does is not good enough, when I see her determination to find her own way rather than accept what she is presented with, or her inability to go to sleep because she can't let go, the child in me stirs. <br /><br />Sometimes I feel that children can be sent to us to make us revisit past experiences, remind us how we have managed to find a way to move on or sometimes finally heal wounds. <br /><br />So I hope that I will have the wisdom needed to find the words that reassure and support when I know that she will struggle. I have to trust her to find her own solutions. <br /><br />Because as you say sometimes we just can't run away from our gene pool. We can only hope that they can take what they inherited and make it better!<br /><br />Love to you all,<br />NathalieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8589290063273869746.post-64378335614436860912013-02-05T21:55:36.413-05:002013-02-05T21:55:36.413-05:00Yes, Penny.

One thing that's good is it's made me confront myself, and I'm able to help her see, just a tiny little bit, that anything can be overcome, just a tiny little bit, every now and then. It makes the small successes that much sweeter, for both of us.Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01975781090489508327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8589290063273869746.post-90963277196625154492013-02-05T00:20:00.786-05:002013-02-05T00:20:00.786-05:00curieuse de savoir... c est laquelle des 3??? mara...curieuse de savoir... c est laquelle des 3??? mara?Joannahttp://www.matteovoyage.canalblog.comnoreply@blogger.com
