19/28 | February Writing Challenge

19. How do you strive to be similar to, or different from, your parents?

There will be no yelling; no screams echoing off high ceilings, sending small children cuddled under covers, tears streaming down their face as they are told to pack a suitcase.

There will be happiness and kisses and a love that inspires hearts that will never feel cold.

There will be an open door, a forever friendship built on trust and unconditional love. 

There will not be distrust, or fear, or resentment, or selfishness.

I will put them first.

I will be exactly what I never had.
