My children are the best of me.

Let's get this right. I have only one chance. My children are the best of me. They embody my compassion, my patience, my humor, my smile, my kindness. I have brought them on this journey, holding their hands, guiding them, reassuring them that all will be fine Their lives have meant everything to me. I can see myself in them And I know I'll live on. But  I can only take them so far. Now I must go on my own path I must go on alone. I wish I could take them further but the dark thoughts won't allow. Where I go now I must go alone.
