This short piece on Small Wonders by Azure Arther titled “The Pixies Are In the Attic” just made a real mess of me.

It’s short enough I don’t feel like I can meaningfully quote from it here without reproducing the whole thing, so I won’t. Just go click the link and read for a couple minutes. So many feelings about the challenges of raising children into wonderful, amazing adults brought about by so few words. Amazing.
