I Choose You

The following was written on Brenda's blog. It describes so well what it is like raising a Raddish.
Thanks Brenda!

I Choose You

I choose you

Even if you don't choose me.

I love you

When you don't love yourself.

I have hope

When you have given up.

I will be strong

When you feel so weak.

I will have courage

When you are afraid.

I will feel your pain with you

When it is too great to bear by yourself.

I will stay calm

When you are falling apart.

I will show you loving eyes

When your eyes are filled with hate.

I will give you gentle touch

When you want to get away.

I will understand

When no one else does.

You can love.

You can trust.

You can feel safe.

I will believe

until you believe it yourself.

Love,

Mom
