We’ve come far.
You’d never believe me if I said we’d be like this now.
I know growing up can be scary. Very scary.
Forging your own path and treading along unknown waters
is both exhilarating and agonizing.
Separation is painful.
Independence is the toddler who longs to discover the magic
5 baby steps away,
and yet somewhat unsure whether to let go
of his mother’s loving hands.
I would be walking soon. And running on my own.
Keep moving forward.
You’re not leaving anybody.
Just imprinting your fresh foot prints on a new path ahead,
and being able to look back at your parents’ proud smiles.
“Look Ma, look Pa, I made it!”
