People
A lot of times I get answers to questions I have in my dreams. Maybe not answers, but just thoughts that I need to put into place in my life.
I don’t remember what I was dreaming one time, but I remember that Gentry was there and someone said to me or I just thought, “He is a person too.” That really struck me. I don’t think of him as a person, he seems more like a really needy extension of myself. But he is a person with thoughts and feelings and valid needs.
Today, Gentry and I were taking a bath together. We also had a bowl of raisins that he was washing in the bath water and eating. I know, way gross. Sometimes it is not worth the fight. I had the thought again. He is a person too. I need to stop ignoring him, I need to embrace him as the little guy that he is.
It is my responsibility to raise him in a good and honorable way. I am not sure what way that is, I don’t think that I was raised in the way that I want him to be raised. I want him to feel loved no matter what or who he is. I think the most important thing is to be honest with yourself and just be who you are. If you are honest with yourself, you will be honest with others.
He is my little guy. I like him, no matter what.

I like him too. He’s so cute! That’s way funny he was washing off raisins in the tub.
