To think the people who planted this probably never got to experience the wonder of this tree lined drive in their lifetime! As Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote so eloquently in Hamilton : What is legacy? Planting seeds in a garden you may never get to see.

One Day
It is a quiet spring morning as we wander through the park today. We have braved the busy morning and manic school run and finally it is just the two of us! The busyness of a house with five children in slips away as we meander with the early sun on our faces. The birds are singing and the daffodils smile at us as you snuggle into me in your sling. We babble together as I point out birds and trees to your inquisitive and enquiring eyes. This is our walk, and one we take often; But this morning it feels different, electric, tinged with something else. Today you are One!
A banana skin? Well this is not just any banana skin! This is the banana skin of a little boy who asked to try a banana and loved it. This banana skin belongs to a little boy who yesterday had an hour long meltdown because someone else was eating a banana (no where near him) This is the banana skin of a little boy who told me he hated all fruit and would never eat it and would hurt me if I made him.
In the grand scheme of things this banana skin is fairly inconsequential- but to me this banana skin is trust, hope and triumph!
Today has had far more challenges than triumphs, as will this week, month, year.... hey that fostering/parenting/life. So here I am photographing banana skins - I am storing this moment to help get me through those darker ones.
And if your today was hard, and you need a chink of light, here’s a banana skin we can share!
I am increasing convinced that love is the only answer. Loving someone at their worst hurts, it is hard and it costs but that truth right there is the only hope for change. Some days (especially after hard nights) I need to remind myself of this. #love #bethechange #fosteringjoy
