Thank you so much for always being there for me. Everyday, you put us before yourself. You’ve raised us four so well, giving us a work ethic that’s led us to college and values that’ll stay with us forever. You are the most caring person I know, and I don’t have the words to express all of my gratitude.”
Parents and their children don’t always see eye to eye. Parenthood is unpredictable and messy; no amount of books and advice can prepare a parent for the hurdles coming their way.
But somehow, while stumbling through the uncertainty, parents find a way. In the end, their love and dedication are better guides than anything they could’ve read. See coverage, Pages 16-17
We’ve done our best. We put our best foot forward for you everyday, and no matter the mistakes I make, it was all done in love. That’s what parenting is. You never understand it until your kids are walking around outside of you. You can’t keep the world from hurting them. You just do the best you can, and you keep swimming.” Photo Illustration by Sebastian Gonzalez and Joshua Goforth
