It is so neat to see that there are people out there that do appreciate their parents/grandparents/foster parents, etc. I have been so luck that way!<br /><br />What's interesting is that I had read Max's Blog first and put some stuff about my Mama in my comment there before I cam here.

Minds sometimes turn 40 degree angles- when thinking starts.<br />But ,,,, I love that you are philophsical and like to think- i do too.Tweedles -- that's mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01349728497621875670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339087872750174307.post-29361361548745956882010-04-19T02:00:26.949+02:002010-04-19T02:00:26.949+02:00I will never forget everything my parents did for ...I will never forget everything my parents did for me, although it took a long time to realize that.

There is a vast difference between raising a child and parenting a child. All good parents know this and the parents that don't know - well, they will never know. <br /><br />A farmer will raise a crop. He will plant the seed and water that seed and when it has grown, he will cut down the produce to sell at market. The years' crop, once sold and gone, will be forgotten. It has served its purpose.<br /><br />A parent blessed with a child will nurture the seeds within through love and guidance and attendance to the needs of that child. When the child has grown, that same parent will allow the child to wander and make its way in the world; however, throughout the life of that child, the parent will travel silently - carefully watching and waiting - for if that child should stumble to fall, no matter what its age, the parent will be there to catch the child - to hold it once again close to heart - to save it from harm.<br /><br />Yes, there is a difference whether a parent chooses to raise a child or to parent a child. And, all good parents know...Scout and Freyjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01423843978069675292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339087872750174307.post-4782520726385170962010-04-18T02:57:08.928+02:002010-04-18T02:57:08.928+02:00I am 44 years old and my parents are 66, they are ...I am 44 years old and my parents are 66, they are my best friends...There is so much love, respect and acceptance between us, a lifetime of good and bad, but always the love; no one will ever love and accept you the way your parents do!...That is very true in my case anyway and I am very lucky to have such great people in my life.Jacquelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08682861905817173908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339087872750174307.post-39812387628126896192010-04-17T23:32:53.576+02:002010-04-17T23:32:53.576+02:00Just beautiful.
