The other day, I got to see myself through my daughter’s eyes as she followed me around the yard while I quickly gathered flowers for a friend’s wedding. My garden has always been one of my happy places (weeds, garden hose, unmowed lawn & all!) and watching her trail behind me through the flowers made me realize she was getting a glimpse into that part of me too.
What felt ordinary to me seemed almost magical to her. For a moment, I saw what she sees. I am someone worth watching, learning from, and staying close to. I still have so much to teach her and hope she will always want to follow me around in the garden. 💕
