It's funny how we never notice that our parents grow with us.
We always see them as those big, strong imposing figures from when we were kids ... most of the time.
It's when I look back at family pictures that I see my parents firsts too, their first baby, their first dedication, their first child's birthday and so much more.
I realize that they were growing with me, and we were all taking steps together, learning by trial and error.
While I realize that this isn't my regular kind of post, I felt like it was something I had to share to all my readers, no matter how many or few they may be.
Our parents are growing and taking the journey of parenting with us as we are growing up and we should cut them some slack sometimes.
Try it, go look at some family pictures and you'll realize that they look waay younger than they do now. Their faces are rounder, they might have been smaller, or larger.
The point is, we're all growing together and I think that's a fact that should never be forgotten while we are dealing with our parents.
