Juliana HatfieldParents rarely let go of their children, so children let go of them. They move on. They move away. The moments that used to define them - a mother's approval, a father's nod - are covered by moments of their own accomplishments.

I am free to appreciate and enjoy it, but I didn't emotionally require it!
