It's not everyday that we get to go up to the peak of our roof. It is steep. It is dangerous. It is risky. Even chimney cleaners only ever come once. They tell me to get someone else to risk their lives the next time. It is quite a roof. The view is great up there at the peak though. It is a challenge and a thrill. Better than any ride at Disneyland.
My son has been painting. He wanted to complete the job to his own standards, even though to do so would mean taking risks. He swung a rope around the chimney and tried to attach himself with a belt. The belt broke and the rope didn't look that safe either. My mountain climbing daughter with all the expensive equipment is still not home.
Nevertheless, the hard working son full of love of life and risk and high standards for finishing the job, perservered. It was crazy. It was worrying. It soon got shut down by the very worried Dad. His yelling to get down was upsetting the neighbours.
I was so proud of you. I do want you to take risks. To perservere. To go high to see the view from up there. To set yourself apart and not do what others will not dare to do. To listen to your wild heart.
Thanks to my Determined, Adventurous, Vanguard, Enthusiastic son. You are a man beyond my dreams. I am proud of you. Keep climbing to the top to meet the sky.
