Seeing kids growing and changing into adults is sometimes a scary thing for me. Letting them have the freedom to express themselves and who they are becoming without doing any permanent psychological damage with the words that are coming out of my mouth seems to be a challenge I never envisioned I would fail at so often. Im so glad that the teenage years only last a little while, they are only a season, and Im sure that one day I will look back and miss them, just not today.
So maybe its hard for me to watch someone I love struggle with lifes choices, hurt with thier defeats and heartaches, shut my mouth and say not that I told you so buy that... I LOVE YOU, EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU, WHO YOU HAVE BEEN, WHO YOU ARE, AND WHO I SEE YOU BECOMING, AND I ALWAYS WILL. Im human, I make mistakes, I sometimes hurt when I want to help, I sometimes judge when I want to accept, I dont always agree with your decisions and instead of offer my own opinions instead of support, I sometimes let my fear of the future rule my actions today, sometimes Im intolerant of failures and ridicule instead of offering encouragement that you are so much more .... Sometimes I wonder when its all said and done if I told you enough...I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU, I AM ALWAYS PROUD OF YOU, YOU ARE AN EXCEPTIONAL BEING, DONT LET LIFES PROBLEMS LET YOU FEEL OTHERWISE.
Im so glad that you are feeling better lately, that your smile is ear to ear with your teeth showing does my heart good. I saw a rock thing at my customers house the other day that had a saying carved on it that I really liked. It said " Life is not about waiting out the storms, but learning to dance in the rain"
