It's funny, on one hand I feel this awe from afar that you were able to succeed as a parent in a way that I wasn't: homeschooling. (Details about my failings in that way are a topic for another time.)

On the other I feel such a closeness to your decision to give your kids the room to grow as people and learn to navigate the world based on their needs and strengths.

From up close or far away, I applaud your work. Nicely done, Mom.
