Little do you know, but your child will soon open up to you. Open up in a way you can't even imagine. And now is your time. It's your time to prove how unconditional the love of a parent can be. Now is your time to step up.
I worry that you will disappoint him. That you will be unwilling to see past yourself. That you will turn everything into how it relates to you. What will others think, of you. What stress will this add, to your life. And that saddens me, and I hope more for you, tentatively.
I hope that you saw but did not say. That you felt but did not push. That you know but are simply waiting for lips other than your own to speak the truth that has existed this whole time.
I hope you can live up to the amazingness that is within your child. I hope that your child finds strength in you, and is not forced to see your weaknesses.
Step up, damnit.
