A thought about children and letting go...

"Almost all of us who have been parents have had the feeling of wanting to give our children perfect lives, lives without pain and sorrow, but of course none of can. There are many times in life when we can't solve our children's problems or get rid of their fears. Perhaps all we can do is to provide a safe, loving place and a willingness to listen." ~Fred Rogers~ from Many Ways to Say I Love You
