My letter to my boys


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 ♥
