And I get it. I really do.
I know birthdays and milestones remind us what has been and might be no more. I know they bring to the forefront time that’s gone by and is now gone. I know they hit us with what we loved in the past and might miss in the future.
But we have children to raise them. We bring them into our families to teach them and nourish them and nurture them and protect them for the future we want for them.
So when they reach a moment when they are one step closer to that future, shouldn’t we be happy and joyful and incredibly grateful?
