Krista Ramsey Post:

Krista Ramsey is one of the best authors that I've ever read from. One of my favorite articles is from the Cincinnati Enquirer. I summarized it for you;

We're raising our kids to go out and explore the world. But what happens when they do?
Just as we'd promised them, the vocabulary words on the refrigerator, summer robotics camps, Rosetta Stone programs and AP classes paid off. I'll text when I land in L.A., they promise as they empty their pockets and slip off their shoes. What did we really think would happen when we told our children to go tackle the world? Did we think we'd send them off to summer study in Barcelona and they'd buy the house next door to us? Did we think we'd peel their hands off our necks and tell them they'd be fine at summer camp, then they'd lose their nerve and come running home when they'd finished their MBA? On our best days, we silently congratulate ourselves for raising children who really were ready for the world.

One line from the Column that really stuck out to me was;
"There's something about their looking so young and connected that makes us feel old and left behind. They're off to things. We're winding things down. They're planning adventures. We're planning retirement. They're in constant motion. We're willing everything just to be still."

Because the way she used repetition over and over again while it compared the parents to their children. Diction and Syntax played when She was using elevated language and when she constantly makes the sentences 4-6 words long. She is very natural with her words. This is why I like her.
