And now, get out of his way! M just needed to find his way. He is such a leader and will be so helpful to others. Good for you for being patient

Proud of YOU. And Proud of HIM!

Kids teach us life lessons we don’t even know we needed.

The Journey IS... ❤️❤️

Your support Yousra truly is the wind beneath us more than you know. Thank you for always circling back to shower us with your encouragement.

I'm going through this with my daughter right now. Thanks for sharing this! I love M so much and I am so proud of him!

BTW, you, George, are one of those people that met my son where he was at always, giving him the confidence over time he needed to fly. Thank you.

We feel the love and feel the same. Continue to give your daughter the patience she needs. Don’t rush. Encourage. The safety she feels from you will give her wings in due time.

Take a deep breath and appreciate the moment. Then it is onward and upward. “Enjoy the ride“ very appropriate title of your story. A lot of things just work out in spite of what we think. Nice job.! 😊

I had anxiety when I was younger as well. We all work through these things. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Francesca Fartaj's avatar

Yes, me too. For a myriad of different reasons. Each of our stories being unique. If we are fortunate to get the support we need, I believe we are that much more assured we will triumph.

Things do change as we grow up, all life long.

Francesca Fartaj's avatar

I love that learning and growing into ourselves is a journey, an adventure, that’s life long.

Christine Dabbs's avatar

Yup, still learning in old age, it’s so cool.

That is such a victory! It’s really hard to learn to trust yourself and the world around you, but as wins compile, the anxiety of the past appears further and further in the rear view mirror. I’m so proud of M for trusting the process, and of you and your husband, for giving him wings! ❤️
