Yesterday, a young girl fell overboard a Disney cruise ship—and her dad immediately jumped in after her.

Somehow, he reached her and managed to keep both of them above the water until the ship’s rescue boat was able to pull them to safety.

When I picture that scene—when I think about the sheer strength and otherworldly adrenaline it would take to tread water in the open sea while keeping a child afloat—my heart stops.

Because the only force powerful enough to make that possible…
is a parent’s love.

A love that doesn’t wait.
That leaps without hesitation.

No matter the time or distance.
No matter the circumstances.
Even if it means literally holding someone above water as waves threaten to pull you both under.

There's a lot we don't know about the moments before the fall—and plenty of theories on who, if anyone, might be to blame.

But what we know for sure is this: a miracle happened off the Florida coast yesterday.

And there's a little girl and her father who lived to tell about it.

I love what she says and just love Brene Brown! ❤️

I believe all of these things are true. I believe grace and rest are key. Feeling and owning our own s**t instead of working it out on others is key. When we slip up, apologizing to the people we offload on is key.

And, when we hit that wall, sometimes courage looks like scaling it or breaking through it. AND, sometimes courage is building a fort against the wall and taking a nap.

For those of us with kids, I don't think we pretend that the wall doesn't exist.

Rather than sucking it up and pushing through, we name it. We help them understand that invisible wall that they will run into hundreds and hundreds of times in their lives. We model what it takes to recognize it and how tough it can be to choose the right strategy: scaling, reaching out for a lift, and/or resting. Naming, modeling, and not having answers is how we help them feel less alone or scared when they face their own wall.

Hard days are real because this is hard.

Stay awkward, kind and brave enough to rest and feel,
BB
