Walk this Way

In the beginning, we coax our children to walk by calling them to us with a hint of excitement in our voices, our arms outstretched - a smile on our face.

Before you truly understand what is happening, a shift occurs - gradually until it smacks you square in the forehead. The shift where you find yourself quietly looking at your child's back, with nothing to occupy your arms. Your voice is still laced with excitement and your face glows with pride but its because your child is walking away from you.......not towards you.
