Node
Node-The part of a stem from which a leaf or new branch starts to grow.
As our children mature, we can see little nodes of growth throughout their life. Entering the teen years brings tons of new growth-physical, mental and emotional. Seeing these nodes and the new growth stemming from them can be such a bright spot for a parent. Knowing that there is maturation going on inside their young ones as well as the outside makes the bittersweet feelings a little more sweet. It is a wonderful feeling to see that new branch bud out and grow to new heights right before our eyes. Seeing moments of maturity and development may seem few and far between, but if we keep watching, we will soon notice our tender young plants are covered with nodes ready for new growth.
