Those Loving Words
There are no words to describe the feeling in your heart when your child puts his arm around you — minutes before falling asleep and says — “I’m so glad you are my mom and then follows with “we have the best family.”
This is one of the best gifts a child can give a parent and if I am thankful for one thing this Thanksgiving – it is that my wife and I didn’t pass up on the opportunity to become parents.
There is no greater responsibility and joy (yes, I’m sure heartbreak to come) than being a parent. Our lives couldn’t be richer, fuller or more adventurous than it has been these past 6 ½ years.
Grateful
So with that, here is to you and your family – whatever family it is that you have created in this wonderful life of yours – have a very grateful holiday filled with loving gestures and memories already created or yet to come.
Skeeter Buck is the founder of Skeetie B’s Production—a children’s book and interactive design company and the creator of The Toothless Fairy. Skeetie B’s was formed as a platform to support her belief that it is important to do something each year that scares her half to death.
Buck holds advanced degrees from John F. Kennedy University (California) and Naropa University (Colorado) and has over 25 years of experience in organizational management, organizational psychology and environmental leadership. Skeeter resides in both Northern California and Colorado with her wife Alexandra and their son Daniel. Daniel was her inspiration for The Toothless Fairy. One of her greatest experiences as a parent has been watching her son learn to read. When she is not hanging out with her lovely family you can find her on the golf course, snow and water skiing or kayaking with her dogs Lucy and Gracie.
