Testimonial for Maria Maloney
Not that you asked; but, for me, becoming a father was a lot like being Bastian in “The NeverEnding Story”. Bastian’s the boy who is stressed out, huddled under a blanket in an attic, grasping tight to a responsibility he can’t quite believe anyone would think he’s ready for; while his partner, Atreyu, draws upon tremendous physical endurance and mental fortitude to navigate through an epic challenge that threatens to shake their very existence to its core. Sometimes it’s exciting and fun, even incredibly so; but often there is that looming darkness growling from the corners of the page of “What if I screw this up?” and “What if it all goes wrong?”. And then, when things are at their lowest; a Luck Dragon swoops down and carries you and your partner, your fists pumping joyfully in the air, through the darkness, past the naming of your Childlike Princess, and off into a happily-ever-after where you feel like a total boss who can chase bullies into garbage cans and conquer all that life throws at you. Maria is a gosh-darn Luck Dragon. For real. Her kindness, wisdom, optimism, and buyout spirit lifted us and helped us find our footing as the parents we wanted to be and that our kids needed us to be. It is always nice when I have people (teachers, friends, family) come up to me and tell me how awesome my kids are. I take the credit when I can; I give my wife the credit when people know better. But part of their awesomeness is that they’ve been blessed with a Luck Dragon. My wife and I know that to be true. Maria is our Falkor; she should be yours too.
