A Motherís Day Thought from John

This post is written by John about his life partner Kerri . . . very sweet~

Motherhood implies togetherness. The first dinner Kerri and I sat down to have with Kaleb in our new home began with several small laughing fits, followed by a round of drumming and nonsense chatter. Kaleb declared we were probably the weirdest family ever, and all of us were okay with that. It was our first movements and dialogue as a new family and I lost all pretenses about being an adult. The togetherness we share has Kerri, my very-soon-to-be-wife, at its core.

Kerriís strength as a mom is her ability to practice peace, empathy, and patience with everyone she meets. She instills in her son the confidence to grow into himself without being ashamed or self-conscious, to be himself unapologetically. She treats Kaleb as an equal, capable person and, therefore, allows him engage in our new familyís processes. Her love is relentless as it is curious and her willingness to be part of the world is inspiring. And she just goes with it if Kaleb and I starting doing break-beats and chooses to be a part of us every moment of the way.
