I raised you
according to my high expectations of you.
I’m proud of you
because you have become a respectful
and independent young man
(because of me & in spite of me).
I know it frustrates you
when I continue to parent you,
but I do so
because I’ve enjoyed parenting you
(good times & bad),
and because
I love you
(even when you thought I didn’t).
I hope,
in your heart,
you know how much I love you
and I hope it makes you feel good
knowing that I raised you
like a hard-ass
because I knew your potential
and expected nothing less.
We’ve both made mistakes,
but I am happy
that we can
forgive each other.
~with all my love ♥
