I still can’t believe it. The past year (just like I said every other year before) saw you grow tremendously. I watched you from the sidelines with equal amounts of anxiety, pride, fear and responsibility – the emotional roller coaster every parent rides. I have paused more than ever to wonder if I am doing the right thing and teaching you the right stuff. I have wished I could be a better role model for you. I learned more about your personality – your unique traits and wondered if I will ever survive. You are the polar opposite of me in many ways – you are determined and set on your path. Your face pluckers with resolve as you tackle the challenge. I admire you. I always called you a “little rowdy” and everyone in the family cried foul. But you are one and you know it. You can be rough and tough. You can bully and tease. You know the right strings to pull and have everyone dancing to your tunes. Be it your uncle or your grandparents.
