The Feel Good Issue--Parents Experts

I PROMISE TO HOLD YOU , BUT NEVER HOLD ON TO YOU. When you look at me with you big eyes, searching for a hug, a kiss, comfort and security my heart melts with joy.I'm there in an instant, knowing that today you turn to me for everything. I yearn to hold you, protect you and nurture you.And while it makes me whole to meet your needs, I must constantly remind myself that I'm really only your guide for a short time. You are on your own journey, a bud that will blossom into its own brilliant flower. I know there will come a time when you will no longer look to me for all your needs, when you must search for your own answers, when you will want to wander around the world and collect your own treasures. I know there will come a time when I have to let go and admit that you are old enough to make your own decision and determine your own actions. I promise you that I will let go and give you the freedom to grow and become your own person, And whenever you want my advice, my embrace and my smile, I will be there for you, I will always answer your call, and I will always be there as an anchor when you need me. And while I know at times it will be hard for me to hold back, I will respect your freedom and give you wings to fly freely with confidence joy and security. Contributed by: Deepti Sree.
