Just to Hold

$290.00

The hardest part of parenting is watching your child struggle, and learning to sit with that discomfort instead of eliminating it. A time will come when they separate from our protection, and we firmly hope we’ve prepared them to navigate the terrain of the world. This piece is a reminder that temporary discomfort breeds empathy later on, challenges of youth build resilience in maturity, and that shelter can provide safety as well as limitation. They come from our caves, but they were never ours to keep- Just to Hold.
