I really loved reading this. It reminded me of my favorite adult in childhood, my "second mom" - we never did special "kid" things together, she just brought you along on whatever she was doing. She's making tamales? She'll pull up a chair for you to stand on and show you how to make tamales. She's visiting newcomers to the community (she worked with the local "welcome wagon" - looking back I have no idea who funded this or whatever lol) you're helping her make folders of fliers and visiting strangers. Reading this made me feel that "adult" feeling you got when you where allowed to join in with a grown-ups life.
This is wonderful— I wish several such adults for every child, because I have only my world to offer my daughter & yours is different! She needs more than mine.
I feel loved when I’m welcomed into another’s world, & they desire mine, in equal measure.
