A Parent Finds Love Through Receiving
As I write this heart tears are streaming down my face. Tears of joy and love for having had the opportunity to be loved by a child with such depth that it allowed me to love myself deeper. In this month of February as we focus on Love, I am reminded of the value of loving myself in ways I never knew I could before and continue to put effort in having more self-love.
It began...
On February 14, 1982, my son Ben was born. Little did I know the true significance of him choosing that day to enter my life. The gift of love that he has given me is more than I ever could have imagined possible. Nor did I know what it would take for me to fully receive that gift.

On March 4th, 2001 he left this world unexpectedly through suicide and showed me to March forward with the love that he shared and would continue to share with me. Now here I am 15+ years later continuing to receive the love that he offers to me as I discover what a parent's love really encompasses.
It would be a tragedy to keep this all to myself, although I know in my heart that having received this for myself was the first intention. It has given me a life I love living and a self that I love being.
Now I share it for all parents to receive. It is why I am so compelled to offer a different perspective to parents about the gift of being a parent and how they can be more of themselves as a gift to their children.
My son, Ben has shown me that a Loving Parent...
The gift is here- it is up to you to receive in ways you never thought possible.
