The Children are Fine

Original Photo Cred: Kindercapes

May you, for just a little bit this week, stop worrying.

They’re fine.

Your children are fine.

Truly, they are.

May you think back to your own childhood.

You survived.

You suffered.

You turned out Awesome.

When your children hit bumps, and they will, hug them.

When they run into trouble, guide them.

When they face uncertainty, coach them.

Each day is a new day.

A new day to appreciate how great they are right now.

A new day to appreciate how far they’ve come along.

A new day to appreciate how independent they are becoming.

A new day to appreciate each other.

A new day to try a little harder, do a little better, give a little more.

May you keep wiping their tears.

Keep kissing those boo-boos.

May you respect their broken hearts and all of their wild emotions.

Keep cheering them on.

Keep dusting them off.

Keep steering them this way and that.

Keep watching them soar.

May you keep encouraging them to fly, even away from you bit by bit.

Keep at it. Keep at it. Keep at it.

The children are fine.

Your children are fine.

They will continue to be fine.

And so will you.
