after 10 years, I let him go. years in the works, months in the execution. still love him, but I think that everyone is better for it.

i AM that child still. in grown up shoes. i don't know how i was a child or if i was a child, but i love that child. i am proud of that child. i will protect that child from harm and love her. i will be there for her. she will know what it is to have security and to feel safe from harm.

i will do the same for my children. provide to them security, unconditional love, and keep them safe from harm.

i am one exhausted mother. and employee. but i still have a smile on my face, and it is genuine. i'll take that ;)
