Letting go...

Below is a beautiful message I had read about holding on to a relationship…

Little girl and her father were crossing a bridge. The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter, 'Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don 't fall into the river.'

The little girl said, 'No, Dad. You hold my hand.'

'What's the difference?' asked the puzzled father.

'There's a big difference,' replied the little girl.

'If I hold your hand and something happens to me, chances are that I may let your hand go. But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens, you will never let my hand go.'

In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond. So hold the hand of the person who loves you rather than expecting them to hold yours...
This message is too short......but carries a lot of Feelings.

An inspirating message that reminded me to hold on to my girls hand than asking them to hold mine. However I also believe, to benefit a child or even a relationship, sometimes one must learn to let go too.

As for my girls, I felt that they have reach the appropriate stage. A suitable age to take charge of themself, learning independance. As being able to depend on yourself seem to give better control of the situation you desire.
