Stuck Like Glue

Do you remember, when you were little? It was you and me, together at all times. You wouldn’t leave my side, you crawled aged 6 months because you could’t bear to be any distance from me. Desperate to reach my legs so that I’d pull you up and hold you tight, only ever wanting to be held by me. Tiny little determined girl with blond hair and big green eyes. Just going anywhere took forever because everyone wanted to stop me and tell me what a gorgeous child you were – people we knew, and strangers who we’d never met before. Time went on, situations and circumstances changed, and you struggled a little. I tried to catch you, tried to hold you up as best I could but I know life felt tough sometimes. Learning to cope with things that are not always simple has been a hard lesson for you, and hard for me to watch you try to find your way. Terribly hard, because all I ever wanted from the time you were born was to see you happy. There’s such a fine line between running towards you to catch you and willing you to steady yourself before you fall.If I had one wish for you, it would be to be able to take your worries away, just as I did when you were small. I don’t have the ability to do that anymore, but I know you’ll be ok. You are so much stronger then you think.
