Nov. 29: We all know someone who inspires us to be better. Share that person.
Well, today I will break the rules and pick two. (I guess I'm on a personal kick.) I am inspired by my sons, Getnet Jude and Endale Isaiah. They inspire me to be a better mother -- a patient mother who owns up to her mistakes and tries to do better next time. They inspire me to be a better teacher. (My current students might be their future world leaders.) They inspire me to be a better wife. I want them to see the mutual respect and love (and embarrassing kissing) that come with a healthy marriage. They inspire me to be a better human. These two resilient souls have endured more in their short lives than many of us can fathom. Still they get up each day, face new challenges, and push forward. And parenting obviously requires heaps of grace and patience, so I'm grateful for that as well.
