Once when I returned to college from holiday break, my dad drove me to the train. It was the middle of winter, the middle of the night. I realized I’d left my gloves at home, so he gave me the gloves off his hands. He might’ve let me do without to teach me a lesson. But he was always in my corner. Parenting is 1,000 times handing over your gloves — or something more precious, like your time. It’s 10,000 times that you’re grateful for help. Once, my youngest crashed her bike. As I helped her up, a stranger reached into her purse for the bandages she knew I didn’t have. This summer, we’re sending our oldest to college. We’re reinforcing life skills — how to run, drive and advocate for yourself. More than any one thing, I want our kids to know what I knew of my dad — that I’m in their corner. |
