Beautiful! Amazing! Deep and dead on posts WhiteFeathers! I need to print this out and put it in my journal - that I still haven't bought. : )
Your post about presence and love - yes yes and yes! I was so scared of separating from my AH because of what it might do to my child and he says that this is his best and most favorite summer ever. Why? Because he has so much "freedom". I'm not sure exactly what that means to him, but it could be the freedom to just BE, without worry, without stress, without fear of having to run to the neighbors or a relative's house when daddy gets "stressed". Things feel good right now.
