Guiding a Vine

I did something Daddy would have done today.
I patiently detangled a vine that reached for support and found only more struggling vines to cling to. They were hanging down strangling each other.

Tangled and strangled


Instead of lazily chopping the tips off to begin again. I patiently and carefully teased them apart and guided them to the trellis.
This is like parenting you see. When children grow up they reach for things beyond them.

Detangled


Sometimes they grab onto the wrong things for support, so a parent has to carefully undo their grasp from the wrong thing and attach it to the right thing. That way it can grow in the right direction and be supported.

On the right path


I was a vine.
Thanks Daddy.
