Daughter #1 attended an amazing private high school, where the motto was “Serviam” - I will serve. This fits her personality perfectly. When she was in first grade, the teacher had a pile of scrap paper available for children who finished their assignments. #1 approached the pile and took a single sheet of paper. “You can take more,” the teacher told her. “That’s ok” said #1. “I want to be sure there’s enough for everyone else.”
Jeremy has been having a lot of trouble eating lately. He doesn’t have much of an appetite, and when he does try to eat, he often chokes.
Tonight I made sausage pasta - one of his favorites. He ate quite a bit but had a little trouble finishing. Tom stepped in seamlessly and fed him the last few bites, making conversation about football and the Olympics.
No worries. No shame. No pressure.
Serviam.
