Hices and decisions,
guiding your life down the path you desire.
For the first part of your life, allow your father and I to guide you
and be responsible for you
and make choices for you.You are going to fight us for your freedom
and as long as we trust you,
you’ll have enough freedom to be who you are.
We will embrace the person you grow into,
because you come from us, and more importantly,
I want you to embrace who you are.
Your fears and failures, hopes and dreams,
every flaw and every good thing that makes up the heart that shines inside of you.
You will always be our child,
and we will be the two people in your life
you can always lean on and come to
when you are at you lowest point no matter what.
Remember to only make promises you can keep,
see the good in people but don’t be too surprised
when they only show you the bad.
I promise you,
you will never fight a battle alone.
With every ounce of my love, Mom
