because my daughter tells me “You’re my best sweetheart in the clouds”

(this is her version of what I tell her, which is that my love for her is bigger than the sky)

I was open, honest and encouraged my daughter to explore independance when she was growing up; I let her sign up for an adult library card as soon as the library would permit it; I gave her a bus pass at age 12 and she felt like she had the keys to the city; I showed her that I had complete confidence in her ability to behave responsibly.

Because I let them just do nothing.
Because I let them be independent (if that’s what they want).
Because I treat them like people.
