A Rarity In Its Own Beauty
If you ever find one of these, take time to appreciate whats in front of you…
I have only met a few “true” free souls in my lifetime. I let most of them go for various reasons, whether a change in my life’s path or a move (usually on their part). I knew letting these people go was a mistake after each one. Why I never stayed in touch, I still don’t know. Maybe it was laziness, or possibly resenting them for leaving me… then I got lucky.
God gave me two more… only this time, I wasn’t letting them go.
The first and second being my daughters. I believe each child we are blessed with is a free soul. We are given these beautiful little beings to love and cherish but not own. Although they have a bit of each of us in them, they are not “us” and we need to remember that. Their personalities, likes, dislikes, and so much more are unique to each of them. It’s not our job to make them who they are meant to be, they will do that on their own. It is our job as parents to protect them and guide them.
We weren’t blessed with these little beings so they could live up to “our” expectations.
They have their own mission in life. I am so proud to have been given the opportunity to experience life with 2 incredible free souls and cannot wait to see what they make of themselves. I only hope they make themselves proud because the two of them simply being here on this earth make me a very happy and proud mother.
Do you have any free souls in your life? If so, are they your children too?
