Family epiphany, mind

Sanibel sunrise
Photo: Sanibel sunrise from my phone, years ago. No one hands you a written contact guaranteeing your idea will become good enough to change your life and the life of those you love. But i feel like i can guarantee a better life if you stay in contact with your parents.

Family epiphany?

Yes.

My parents never initiated contact.

Mom’s parents always did.

Mom’s mom? Literally daily contact.

My parents? Crickets.

The lesson?

Power through what feels intrusive.

Because the opposite of intrusive is neglect.

Neglect can be convenient when you’re busy and stressed.

“Intrusive” is another way of saying, “I love you and want to be part of your life for as long as our lives let us.”

Son, this song was playing while and after i wrote this post.
