Today you can hear my radio broadcast

In my 23 years as a mom there have been many homecomings as I brought my six children home for the first times. When Cory was born, I was a 17-year-old single mom, and we returned to my parents’ house. With Leslie and Nathan, John and I lived in low-income housing while he was in school. There was no designer nursery, but I did have room for a bassinet next to our bed.

Parenting is like a hike. A steep alpine trail we must travel to take our children from birth to adulthood. There’s adventure and a time of bonding along the way. There are also—for those who attempt to find it—places of peace and contentment. Spots to enjoy the view. (I promise there are!)
