I've spent
most of
my life
trying to
prove I
don't need
a parental
figure around.

Now I
realize that
a kid
needs someone
to show
them how
to really
grow up.

So when
they leave
the nest
they'll be
ready for
what life
has ahead
of them.

Love your
children as
much as
you can,
then maybe
their live's
won't be
as painful.
