PARENTING REQUIRES PATIENCE, PERSEVERANCE AND FAITH. THIS IS TRUE NOT ONLY WHEN WE RAISE CHILDREN, BUT ALSO WHEN WE GIVE BIRTH AND NURTURE NEW IDEAS. THE NESTING STAGE CAN FEEL LIKE A RESTRICTIVE BURDEN. BUT AFTER THE CHILD HAS GROWN, WHEN OUR IDEAS TAKE OFF IN FLIGHT, DESPITE THE RETURN OF FREEDOM, WE CAN FEEL A TINGE OF NOSTALGIA.
