Dearly beloved: I hope when your daughter says i dont want to go to school today.. you hear her. I hope you notice the way the words seem to sink in the air like she is pronouncing them with such emotion they can not be supported by her breath. I hope you dont tell her You stayed up late, thats why you are so tired. Dearly beloved, i hope you push the hair back from her face and look into her eyes and ask her to tell you what is keeping her from seeing her friends,. Dearly beloved, do not rush to work throwing a feel better over your shoulder. Instead, take her into your arms and hold her. Dearly beloved: I hope when your son stops eating, you notice it. I hope that when his shoulders cave towards eachother and his skin grows pale that you remember what its like to be a teenager and instead of telling yourself he will grow out of it i hope you ask him why you can see all of his ribs. Dearly beloved, i hope you can find his razorblades before he comes addicted, i hope you roll back your sleeves and sit down, scars showing, and kiss his forehead and tell him stories he has been too young to know beforehand. Dearly beloved, don;t you dare tell that young man that depression only happens to teenage girls. Dearly beloved, tell him you stood where he stands. When your daughter comes home with her first girlfriend, smile, beloved, welcome her with open arms and do not comment on her style of clothes. When your son grows out his hair and finds his way into your make up and tell you hed like to be called a girl, ask her what shed like for breakfast and tell her she looks great in that skirt. Be proud of your children, beloved, they are an extension of you. I hope you love them regardless of what their paths lead to.
