Parenting is an unexpected saga of love and chaos. Unexpected in the sense that it teaches you things you never thought you could learn, opens new horizons about the meaning of life, and deepens your love for other humans. Amidst the dizzying highs of first smiles and tiny triumphs, like seeing them walk for the first time, speak, and then finally the day they can dress themselves, there exists the bitter sweetness that one day they'll be grown up. Each day brings a new chapter, a blend of laughter-filled scenes and spaghetti stained clothes.

Once they do grow up though, it's special and important for the parent to acknowledge their success at having raised a little human. Of course not all of how someone is is their upbringing, but it sure does play a big part in who we are as people. Being able to see your kid grow into the man or woman you could only dream of, to see their successes, their failures that only make them stronger, seeing them fall in love and start their own life, it's all a special and important feeling only you can resonate with as their parent.
