Parenting

There's something to be said about parenting... By no means is it remotely easy, I truly feel its one of the hardest jobs any adult can take on. Also, one of the most rewarding jobs ever. Honestly, parents deserve so much more appreciation. But, we are all content just to have a well mannered, respectful child. That is our "appreciation"!
It's one of the only jobs where love is your reasoning. Even discipline is performed out of pure love. How can soo much love be poured into just one child? Even parents with multiple children still manage to give each child what they need in terms of love.
Parenting is setting aside your own needs for the needs of your child. It's hurting just as much if not more when your child is hurting. It's wishing you could take their pain away by giving it to yourself. In some cases it's wishing your death over theirs (although this is something we hope never happens to anyone we know / care about) I know that if I'm ever faced with such horror I would pray for his life to be spared in exchange for mine. Parenting is a welcome sacrifice for our children, something we don't think twice about. Even if the child is not your own flesh and blood you can still have that bond with a child. I think Shawn is proof of that. What a wonderful man. He loves Cam unconditionally without ever being expected to. There's no doubt in my mind that he loves him just as much as I do. He's been in Cams life since just before Cam turned 1. As long as Cam can remember :)
I'm not gona lie, I've completely lost my train of thought.. I'm not even sure if I got my point across. Maybe it's time to put away blogger for now.
