What is a resource? I suppose anything from which you derive something qualifies. So, in addition to tangibles like food and clothing, sleep, relaxation, shelter, transportation, we can also include things like love and knowledge.
Hopefully that's the case. By some magic, my daughter and I spend more time together these days. The cuddles, hugs, and meaningful conversations fill my heart for sure. Additionally, we're spending more time together on her academic and extra curricular endeavors. We spent part of one of her piano practices (she works on Broadway show tunes, in part) singing along to the songs she was playing. She grinned the entire time, and listening to her beautiful voice, following the notes she pressed, gave my spirit a gigantic lift.
And we've been preparing her for the district spelling bee. Who know that "zigzaggedness" was a word. It just looks like "zigzag" with two suffixes tacked on the end. At any rate, all this time together builds shared memories between us, which in itself is at least as gratifying as any one of our shared moments in it self.
I'm counting my blessings as we count the years and months left that we can count on having our daughter at home with us.
