parents

it's funny how growing up

means realizing

your parents are your best friends.

it's funny how growing up

means realizing

your parents know what's best.

not just when it comes to

decision making,

or living an adult life,

or the best way to make a grilled cheese.

no, it's when it comes to

seeing who has your best interest,

& who deserves to be in your life,

because your parents

know when someone isn't

a good fit.

it's when you're

down on your luck

& absolutely unable to

see a future,

so they take over the view

until you're able to see it

for yourself again.

it's when you need guidance.

it's when you need a hug,

a shoulder to cry on,

someone to make you laugh.

it's funny how I never realized

my parents are my best friends.

I guess it just took growing up

to realize it.

Mom & Dad, I love you.
