It was really hard not being there live for this episode. I kept wanting to jump in and share my thoughts on the memories you referenced. I had stories I wanted to add! Haha So much cathartic nostalgia listening to this....
Mom and I had a HUGE conversation about this when we woke up. I was laying there playing the podcast on my phone, and for the first time, your mom had all sorts of questions and critiques.
It wasn't hard for me to hear, because this has never been about me, but about the family and crafting this platform for all of us to work together. It's what I shared int he beginning, because I knew there would be situations just like this -- where one or more of you -- would remember something or want to contribute.
That's AWESOME.
It's also the exact reason I'm trying to catch anyone who has a moment to record with me.
But that's life, and I know everyone has things to do...and what I mentioned to your mother is, "I'll just do the best I can until the value of what this can and should be, sinks in and someone notices...and decides to assist me."
That's not a complaint, Asia, because I had so much fun talking with you and doing those podcast sessions--which is ANOTHER example of creating memories, right?
I'm rambling, I know.
kidCLANS is the opportunity for our family to do what no other family CAN do, simply because they are not US.
...just like they can do what WE cannot do.
Trust me when I say, there are countless families out there -- individuals even -- who need the stories and perspectives you have to share. People who need to hear my unapologetic orneriness and stubborn, unyielding views...when the world converts so many others to so much less.
IMO, this is one of the things we were made for.
Hmmmm. I think I'll do a session with Aleshia, just to cheer me up.
I love you, sweetie. Thank you for always being willing to assist me. And yes, I wish you'd been here to interject and share what was on your mind. Would have made my paltry attempt at a podcast infinitely better =)
