You moulded me to be a tough personality…
But, delicately honed me to be a soft heart!
You taught me to brace my individuality…
But, also taught me how to embrace adversity!
You guided me to surrender to an elder and/or experienced…
But, also asked me to challenge when they doubted my mettle!
You always hovered around shielding me from the world…
But, also turned into a team by delivering slaps to a molester!
You stood by me when I took my first steps in your family…
And, you walked with me when I took my first steps into my new family…
Today, we may not be together every moment…
But, your lessons and memories breathe with me and always will!
