Once upon a time, we showed you in very real ways
That we would always be here for you -
No, matter what you needed
We would be right by your bedside
when you weren’t quite feeling well. . .
Hold your hand when we help you cross the street. . .
Wrap you in hugs when you were hurting or afraid.
How we wish it were still that easy
to shield you from pain and disappointment,
to lift your spirits, to take away the hurts
and make everything all better.
But a part of being a parent
is finding the strength to let you go . . .
to let you grow from your mistakes and heartaches . . .
to let you know that you can make it your own.
We have tried to give you the space you needed
to make your own decisions. . .
take your own chances. . .
and feel your own way in the world.
But we hope you will always remember
that we love you with all our heart and soul,
and that we are still right here for you,
No matter what you need!
