My job as a parent is to steward my child’s journey. Not to define it. Not to shape, cajole, snowplow it. Not to helicopter or tiger-mom it. My job is to offer love and support as B unravels his definition of gender-identity and all the other unknowns of life. To offer security and reprieve when the harshness of the world reveals itself, as it does eventually to everyone. Some of us, like B, just walk courageously toward it.
Love. Thank you. And thanks B. ❤️
