We're always losing our kids. In fact, we're raising them to lose them. How do we deal with this constant endless loss without losing ourselves? Well, we have to grab ahold of what we can. A couple of months ago we talked about a great line in the beautiful song by The National about really being there when we're somewhere, when we're with someone. Well, they have a new song, new order t-shirt that puts it even better. Thank you for listening and we hope this helps.

We’re always losing our kids. In fact, we’re raising them to lose them–every minute, every interaction is building towards that moment when they will leave and live their own life. We’re raising them knowing that one day we will leave them for good too. Plus there is the fact that, as the Stoics says, we’re constantly changing, ceasing to become who we once were–and nowhere is this truer than with our children, who will never be 1 or 2 or 3 or 13 ever again.
