I didn't understand at first
I thought you were controlling
That you worried too much
That you didn't care
But now I see it
You tried to guide me
You were worried
Because you did care
Now here we are
After countless shouting matches
After so many times I stormed off
And none of that matters now
you worry
you try to do everything
you never stopped loving me
you accept me as your daughter
you always make sure I'm eating
you always check in on me
you care
That's why I love you
That's why I'm proud to be your daughter
That's why I'm proud to call you
Mom

How to listen
How to support
How to accept
How to understand
How to heal
How to learn
How to love
What I learned
from my family
Who has listened
Who has supported
Who has accepted
Who has understood
Who has healed
Who has learned
Who has loved
For you
I will always
Be thankful

You can tell me
that who and what I am is wrong
but I won't let it get to me
You can ignore my feelings
while rambling on without end
but I will still try to listen
You can refuse to consider
what I or anyone else wants
but I will still ask what you want
No matter how you yell
No matter how you argue
No matter how you hurt me
I will remember
You're learning
You're growing
You've got a good heart
You will always be my baby boy
And I will never stop loving you

This family
taught me how to love
with my whole heart
without exception or condition
without ending or faltering
This family
taught me how to accept
those who are the same
those who are different
those who I can't even understand
This family
has always been here for me
no matter the circumstances
no matter my mistakes or faults
no matter how I change and grow
This family
will be a part of me forever
until the end of my life
until the end of time
until everything fades away
I love This Family
I accept This Family
I will be there for This Family
I will be a part of This Family
Forever

From the moment I held you
I loved you with all my heart
I promised that I'd do my best
Even though I was so lost
Days turned into years
You changed so fast
The little boy I knew
Has grown into a young man
We may argue and yell
We so rarely agree
But that will never change
how much I love you
I see the best and worst of you
Holding you always in my heart
No matter how you change
I'll always love you, my baby boy
Now you're leaving me
Seeking a life you can't have here
It breaks my heart to see you go
But I know deep down, this is for the best
Thinking of what's best for you
Even when it doesn't include me
Rips out my heart
But that's what it means to be a parent
I'll always be there for you
I promise that now and forever
I know this won't be goodbye
Just the start of a new chapter
I hope this journey helps you grow
I hope you find what you're looking for
Know that I'll be here waiting for you
And loving you always, my baby boy

When I started on this journey
it was tough and it was scary
Venturing into the unknown
Suddenly left stranded and alone
But we trudged on together
We made mistakes, we learned to be better
No matter what happens or what you do
I’m still so proud of you

Dear Isaac,
There’s so much I love about you
That I couldn’t imagine life without you
The time we’ve spent together
Is something I’ll cherish forever

It’s not the words we say
it’s that we’re now talking
Before this, I was crawling
But I’ve stood up and started walking

I can’t see you now
You’re too far away
So I’ll have to do
something to remember you

When we were kids
Neither of us could've known
All the ways you'd change
and all the ways you'd grow
