Yesterday was Dr. Seuss Day at my sons school. Getting off the bus, sporting a bright red and white striped paper hat, I said, did you wear that the whole way home? “Yes!” he said, proudly. “and only one boy called me a dork”.
While I watch my one son learn to read, I watch my other son writing college papers. Everyday you balance whether you did the right thing, are doing the right thing, and if you should do it the same way again.
Until you get a random text at 11:20pm from the soon to be 21 year old out of the blue that simply says.
MOM. I LOVE YOU.
or walk in the living room to see your little one like this.

So, to quote Dr. Seuss (again)
Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.
