My promise to my children...
For as long as I live I will always be your parent first and your friend second.
I will stalk you, flip out on you, lecture you, drive you insane, be your worst nightmare and hunt you down like a bloodhound when I have to because I love you.
When you understand that, I will know you have become a responsible adult. You will never
find anyone else in your life who loves, prays, cares and worries about you more than I do.
If you don't mutter under your breath "I hate you" at least once in your life, I am not doing my job properly.
