“You are the strongest person that I have ever known or will ever know”
how nice it was to hear these words
he looked at me with;
A D M I R A T I O N
L O V E
S T R E N G T H
O F C H A R A C T E R
did I teach him that?
did he learn it from me?
he’s mine;
but firstly, he’s himself,
how proud I am of him
i needed to hear those words today
i had given up
i didn’t want to stay
once again, we touched in our hearts
just like
the time
our eyes met
across the playground
when he was 8
