Desiring to protect, but wanting to let live. To have more freedoms than I had, but with the safety I give. To guide them, not shape them into who they will be. To love them, not push them to be something for me. Encouraging their decisions while helping along the way. Being there at the beginning and end of each day. It is my duty to be all of these things and through it all experience the joy it brings. – Cole Bradburn
