Allow others to give and be able to accept. It doesn’t have to be ‘my way’. My FIL always gave unconditional love! I didn’t know what that was. Their love for their granddaughters - immeasurable! https://padlet.com/m2ieje/Day4/wish/593415074 2020-05-25 18:12:17 UTC https://padlet.com/m2ieje/Day4/wish/593415074 My parents https://padlet.com/m2ieje/Day4/wish/593583924 If not for you I would not be able to see two sides of a question. I got the religiosity from Mom and leadership from Dad.

She encouraged me, nurtured my talent, hired me fresh out of school, and gave me space to grow and try new things. She paved the way for my career in Jewish education and I could not be more grateful for her setting me on the path of my life's purpose, especially when I didn't even know it was happening.]]> 2020-05-29 07:19:31 UTC https://padlet.com/m2ieje/Day4/wish/600624254
