the fear that you are damaging your kids

The day is ending and the house is settling into quiet, but your mind is still racing, replaying every moment you feared you hurt them. You are carrying a weight that feels too heavy, terrified that your imperfections have left marks that will never fade.

But remember the law of the light: it shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. Your fear says you are damaging them, but the truth is that something far stronger than your mistakes lives inside them.

You are not the author of their fear; you are simply walking beside them in the gathering dark. The light within them was there before you, and it remains untouched by anything you have done.
