I may no longer fit in your arms or sit comfortably on your shoulders but you continue to hug me tightly when I need it most."We may not get to spend time together that often but when we are face to face, you really do see me."You may not always believe it but please trust me when I say, no matter how old I get or what life may bring, I will always need you."Whether I'm proudly watching you up on stage, laughing at home together playing trivial pursuit, I'm forever grateful for the moments and memories we share."Especially the ones I now cherish as an adult myself.
