I loved you 2 to bug you about where you are going , with whom, and what time you would get home. I loved you enough to 3 you buy a bike with your own money that we could afford and you couldn't. I loved you enough to be silent and let you 4 your hand-picked friend was a creep. I loved you enough to let you see anger, 5 , disgust and tears in my eyes. I loved you enough not to make excuses for your lack of respect or your bad manners. I loved you enough to admit that I was wrong and ask your 6 . I loved you enough to ignore “ what every other mother" did or 7 . I loved you enough to let you 8 , fall, hurt and fail. I loved you enough to let you assume the 9 for your own actions, at six, ten, or sixteen. I loved you enough to accept you for what you are, not what I wanted you to be.
