Heidi’s Reflection

Recently, I gave birth to a beautiful little girl. Her arrival has taught me a lot of things. I am now looking at the world in a totally different way, through new eyes and experiences. I observe her discovering her new environment as she studies each new face closely, and adopts it as her friend. Specifically, being a parent is teaching me to become more giving, patient, present, and aware of the things I do and say. Any of you who have children will know what an amazingly transformative experience it is to become a parent.

The role also comes with extraordinary responsibility, as my values, activities, and behaviour will play a significant role in my child’s development. I feel extremely grateful for being given such a precious gift. In addition to this, I’m learning to appreciate the little things I used to take for granted, like sleeping, eating a hot meal, and the importance of the support that comes from living in a community filled with wonderful family and friends.
