"I'm every woman. It takes a village to make me who I am."
~ Katy Perry
I don't know
when -- if ever -- we parents stop needing our villages. I am thankful for my village every day. Recently, one of my children had a school
field trip and I would have been quite lost without one of the most informed
members of my village, who provided me with the latest updates and even
purchased a needed ticket. And then
there are the fashion advisors in the village, both near and far. I shared some outfit options for an upcoming
school milestone (not for me) and was grateful for the comments that I
received. I was with a couple of mom
friends recently and sent a photo of us to one of the fashionistas, who is
temporarily on the other side of the world.
(Temporarily = two years.) She
wrote back, "I miss my village!"
Well, as far as I'm concerned, she remains an important member of my
village. She just happens to be its most
distant outpost.
