I've always thought that tears are sacred, whatever the prompting. Alfred Austin said, "Tears are summer showers to the soul." I have said, sermonically, that tears are a prism to the soul. Often, when I feel myself welling up, I recognize that I am standing at the edge of beauty, deep truth, or overwhelming wonder. Life-giving indeed.
We’re watching as you so kindly help them delay gratification and increase tolerance. It reminds me of the Somatic Experience teaching: as you increase your capacity for sitting with pain, you increase your capacity for joy.

Caroline…so beautifully expressed. Much gratitude flowing your way. 🙏🏽💜🙏🏽
I so wish I had you around when my kids were young. ❤️
It is SO hard to not simply scoop them up and "make it all better"...as if we could.
