No matter how grown-up they get or how independent they seem, my kids are always my kids. They can have careers, homes, and strong opinions, but I still see the little ones they used to be. And when life gets hard, I show up with no questions, no hesitation, no second thoughts. That never changes. Love doesn’t fade with age. Being a parent just looks different over time, built on pride, worry, and a bond that doesn’t ever loosen.
