Parenting


There comes a day when roads fork, paths diverge, when loved ones go there separate ways.  It has always been such.  There is a great gift given every being, the ability to hold in trust the memory of the loved one, to muse and meditate on the human of our affection.  A lover is the most intense and longing but a parent is the most secure.  A lover will wax and wane, as a candle in a slight breeze but a parent will permit self-termination over the infliction of even the slightest harm to the child, no matter the age.  There is an example in God that is a bar my heart cannot match nor fathom.  For even if the whole world hung in the balance mine would not be offered up.
