Raising a daughter who is very independent, intelligent and as you can see very beautiful was not easy task for my wife and I.
As a parent, I learned, after a time, to allow my children to grow to be who they would become, even if that journey was filled with many adventures a parent might cringe at.
We all have different learning cycles to go through. We make mistakes, learn and grow.
A parent might want to control - who would admit to that - or guide our children, based on our experience and our culture. We, of course, know what is best for them.
Our children have their own path to experience. One that is imperative to their wholeness.
Pick your battles, may they be short and end with a hug.
My daughter has grown into a loving, caring, compassionate human being and I am proud of her.
happy birthday
