You are the Master of Analogies.  You often have the perfect way to describe something big or little in life.  I then think about these analogies throughout my weeks and use them to understand.

The other day you told me part of parenting is like making your way from one end of monkey bars to the other.  In order to get to the next bar, you have to let go of the one behind you.  It's a constant letting go and grabbing on with this kid raising stuff.  My role seems so much more clear with this picture in my head.

I will always appreciate the way you make sense of the complicated themes life holds.
