This one goes out to all the Guardians-- regardless of gender-- the Mothers and Fathers, who are the action verb personified in deeds as well as in thoughts.
This one goes out to the Guardians who take the role as seriously as a surgeon would performing his/her first surgery.
This one goes out to all those who impart loving wisdom to their charges, regardless of age (so what if your "child" is 50?). And, at the same time, are open to learning from them as well.
This one goes out to those who strive to lead from a place of love, those who genuinely, consciously desire a better life experience for those under there guardianship.
You are Mother. You are Father. Sometimes you are both. You are royalty in the hearts of those who salute you by those titles and think upon you with love.
You mirror to child how to navigate the world as best as you can, as best as you know thus far, and at the same time champion child's own inner explorer.
To the Mothers/Fathers, who would like to shield child from the path filled with potential bruises and seeming mistakes, but knows that said child must live his/her life as best as s/he can, and so Father/Mother must trust that Mother/Father has shared the best tools and allow child to build from that loving foundation.
To you, I say, "Thank you." I know it can be so hard. But please know you are making a difference-- not just in the lives of your children, but in the lives of countless others who will interact with your children. I applaud all of your efforts-- all of it, all of it, counts.
And from my heart, and with all my heart, I wish you many blessings ❤-- A citizen of the world
