We, unfortunately, missed the opportunity on June 1 to honor all parents around the globe for the “Global Day of Parents.” I found this short blog post on Montessorium very sweet as the things that unite us as parents and that we likely all have in common included:
1. A sense of wonder at bringing a new life into the world.
2. Joy in the small, daily accomplishments of a child.
3. Trepidation about the responsibility parenthood brings.
4. Hope for their child’s future.
5. A desire to see their family grow in health and happiness.
And so, just a few weeks late but with extra attention due to the heartache and disunion going on around the world, I feel inclined to stand as a global citizen and honor my fellow parents throughout the world.
Keep shining,
Britney
