The comforting touch of a mother’s hand The hushed promise of “I love you ” The soothing rocking of a chair on a restless night These are all things that have been present in our childhoods These are all things that have sustained us, helped us grow Until you’ve “aged out of it” Until you’re “too old” , “too mature”, “too cool” Until you push your parents away Until little disputes define your relationship with them Until you forget how much they really care for you Until all you see is red. But the truth is… they never stopped loving you They never stopped caring They’ll never leave your side No matter how many differences or arguments you have with them This realization is a part of real maturing Of knowing what really matters-- Clothes don’t matter. Looks don’t matter. Athleticism doesn’t matter. Popularity doesn’t matter. What matters is your family. Who, no matter how many times you mess up and fall, Are always by your side.
