We leave important meetings at work for it and drive home and back to work again . We each give him a big personal hug and kiss. We leave our clients in the waiting room and close our office door and blare his motivational song on You-Tube over the phone as a way to surprise him with the news. His Sister and Brother cry for him (one in joy and the other TBD). We encircle him and give him the bumps again. We write an email to everyone we know with the good news. We bring home a special dessert to all share together. We let it slip that he was supposed to be on a consequence tonight because he was rude this morning.
We celebrate each other. Always. No matter what. No matter where we are-or what we are doing. Each other’s successes always come first. We do the same with Disappointments. It’s the Five of us (and six with my Mom!). Forever and a Day.
Today I said to my hubby as we received the news:
“Can he do this..this incredible and amazing school but at the same time -this tough, elite, hard, high performance driven school? Is this the right place for certain-can we actually handle this with two of them now there. Will we all survive this?”
My hubby full of loving and calm conviction said back:
“We can and we will do it. It is hard work but he and we will certainly do this it. It is the perfect place for him. Life is not made to be easy”
Congratulations Bear! You did it!
