I always danced with my father in the living room. He did lifts with me, and he would twirl me around, and we’d laugh and giggle.
My parents really doted on me in so many ways. They had an intense love and participation in my well-being.
Don’t ever postpone things - that was very clear in our family.
There’s no such thing as working too hard. Don’t throw in the towel. Keep trying. But always make time for playfulness and silliness and joy in every day.
