I see you, my 7 year old boy staring into my soul through that fading black and white photograph. Your uncertain look truly is worth 1000 stories.
LIVE them all, even those with jagged edges and painful lessons for such a young heart. Those scars will forge deep roots of resilience, passion and adventure in your core.
LOVE your dragons, do not run or hide from them, for they will light your fire even as you walk through their flames. I am here with you, always and forever.
