BUTT THE HELL OUT!
It's early morning, my eyes are heavy, the coffee is brewing and I find that I just had myself a light bulb moment. While they can be powerful, they can also be very humbling. For me so many times, my light bulb moment comes with the realization I don't know everything!!! And yes mom, this has to do with my sweet angel.
My daughter is my pride and joy. I have a hard time letting go-(I knew this several years ago). Like any other parent I want nothing but the best for her. Yet sometimes my stubbornness gets in the way of seeing what I think she needs and what she really needs are two different things. I usually push her out of the way as I go for it. She smiles that ever so loving half smile, silently scolding me in the most love able way for once again "getting in the way". Now don't get me wrong, she talks to me, she cries to me, but the thing I noticed is all I need to do is "be there" when she needs to come to me. She knows what she wants in life, HAPPINESS and she is more determined than ever to have just that.
I learn from her every day, how to stay away from hurtful situations, far away from the drama, not always do I practice it (how I hate that part), how to love unconditionally, and how to just "be" there accessible for anyone that needs her. She is the "best" friend anyone could ask for. She is so loyal and trustworthy, two very admirable traits in a person. She will never USE you, however I've watched her be used, but she sees it as helping. She truly has no malice in her body and what comes from her is pure. She sounds too good to be true, I know. She is human, she makes me mad, can annoy me, rub me wrong, etc, but it is not her human qualities that impress me, it is the genuine goodness that she exudes. Always making me strive to be a better person.
Currently, she is surrounded by loving and caring people. People who care about her well being, about her and respect and appreciate what she has to offer. So as long as she surrounded by goodness that is all she will reap. And it is safe for me to let her go, because those around her will protect her as I try.
I love you my beautiful daughter!
