Someday, when my child is old enough to appreciate what motivates and parent and makes them do what they do, I\u2019ll tell them\u2026\n

I loved you enough to bug you about where you were going, who you were with, and what time would you be home.\n

I loved you enough to worry and nag you about your health.\n

I loved you enough to choose your temporary upset, in the hope that the lessons would bring you longterm happiness.\n

I loved you enough to be \u201coverprotective.\u201d\n

I loved you enough to not make excuses for your bad manners and lack of respect.\n

I loved you enough to choose to put myself last, every day.\n

I loved you enough to ignore what \u201cevery other parent\u201d did.\n

I loved you enough to remove people that loved from my life, so that could protect you.\n

I loved you enough to let you stumble, fail, and fall so that you could learn to stand alone.\n

But most of all, I loved you enough to risk you hating me for decisions that I made in the hope that I was doing what was best for you\u2026that was the hardest part of all.\n
