Day 24: A letter to your parents
Dear mom and dad,
From the very moment I was born, you insisted that I was myself and not an extension of you– that I had not come into existence simply for you to organize or even to love.
Mom, dad, thank you for giving me the freedom to love you. Thank you for being interested but never prying. For being loving, but never drowning me in love. For building me a nest, but letting me fly free. Thanks for opening all those doors for me but never shoving me through them.
Parents start our lives. They cast on our existence. They teach us plain and purl. They give us the basic patterns. But the good ones, the ones like you, hand over the needles after a while, and say: “There’s the world. Choose yourself some new shades, some new patterns. Make yourself a life.”
I’m not a little girl anymore and I hope you’re happy with my life and at peace with the choices I’ve made. Good parents give their children paints and brushes and canvas, but let them paint their own pictures. Thank you for letting me paint my life with my own colors. Everything I am today, I owe it all to you.
Forever love,
Ange
