I've learned so many lessons from our children. One of my favorites happened a few years ago when we were playing in the snow.
Our youngest was having trouble walking up the sledding hill. Her sister watched for a few minutes then grabbed a sled, grabbed her sister and dragged her up the slope. The two of them then laughed the whole way down with our dog running beside them all the way.
I'll never forget watching my little ones on that snowy day. And what fascinated me the most was that our older daughter has some significant challenges of her own, but she just saw her sister struggling and rose to the occasion. I learned that day that life is a slippery slope with promises of bumps and bruises, but we can all make it to the top if we remember to help each other.

Can't believe how little the girls are in that picture.

ReplyDeleteIt was certainly one of my proudest moments...and our dog (Tali at the time) stayed with them the whole way up and down.
