Life was not always happy or easy.
There are scars that can't be seen or erased.
But life can improve.

Life was not a cake-walk.
Life had it's struggles.
But you were strong and survived.

Now it's time to thrive.
Time to grow.
Time to let go, the past is not yours to keep.

Let go, My girl.
Let it be, My daughter.
Let Me consume you instead.

I love you.
