Esau My Son: A Parent's Journey

Esau My Son is about learning how to support, nurture, and educate, the child you were not expecting to be yours. Darling, sweetheart, honey bunch, our people become doctors, lawyers, CPAs. We don't join the Marine Corps! In my son's first week of life i purchased a t-shirt that was supposed to inform his growing. In tiny letters it read HARVARD UNIVERSITY, and I felt destined to raise and Ivy League educated brain surgeon. How could it be that my little blessing was: causing the kindergarten teacher's face to break out in nervous ticks, developed as his best subject derailing the teacher's agendas, a football player instead of a star debater. Why does it take some of us so long to recognize the unique gifs a child brings to their world. This is a profound journey of appreciation where we all learn that not everything of value in this life can be measured on a cognitive learning profile.
