It's interesting time as we move from spring to summer and all of the seasons.
I'm thinking of growth and the garden that your parent planted for all of our development. It's interesting to correlate all of the processes that go into growing something from a seed. Yes they now make it easier as you have more fully developed plants to work with to ensure that they bear a product in the end.
All of our parents and friends planted seeds in our development. Which is extremely important as we look back and see we are what was planted. We came with weeds we came with imperfections and like the weather we challenged the growth and ideas and plans that others had for us.
I wish I could remember all of the diaper stages and when we went from the diaper to the pull-up, oh I'm sorry that didn't exist during my time and I'm not sure the disposable diaper did either.
Our parents had a hope for us to have a better life then they did. They worked hard, they sacrificed and made every committment to attend our events no matter how trivial they may have thought they were. They planted the seed for our success. They enabled us when we needed them to. They played hardball when they needed to as well.
During our growing up days we may not remember that but as we get older and we reflect we can get a clear understanding of what they were trying to accomplish. They wanted us to walk on our own, be responsible for what we did or will do. They also new that anything we did would be a reflection on them.
Just like weeds in a garden or a low output they new that it was important that they guided us from an early age to make the correct decisions and be respectful of them.
Now I know many people can say they did every thing correct. Others may say I tried and I was not perfect but in the end I got it correct.
But see living in a small town everyone knew everthing that you were doing good or bad. Some people will say in today's world that is a bad thing mind your own business. But when you really think about it was a good thing because they really meaning everyone wanted good things for you. Everyone in a small town was on the watch for you and when you went astray they wouldn't penalize you but instead they would try to point you in the right direction.
They didn't care if you hit a home run they cared that you tried. Your friends and were happy you tried. I don't think that they cared if you were the last one to say your first word in your age group.
Wouldn't it be nice to be that seed again. Knowing what you know now. Eating that first solid food, going to the bathroom on your own. No longer feeling it was just comfortable to go in your diaper. They made use experience the world and they made us in the small town experience each other.
They meaning the parents made sure you grew with the carrots, beets, onions, potatoes and even the weeds. We should be grateful and I'm sure we are for everything they have done over time, especially as Mothers day has passed and we are approaching fathers day.
Did Hallmark create these days or did we all to honor those that have planted and nurtured the garden that we are all so lucky to live in.
As always I welcome your thoughts and look forward to your comments on your small town upbringing
