​“Parents rarely let go of their children, so children let go of them. 

They move on. They move away. 

The moments that used to define them are covered by 

moments of their own accomplishments. 

It is not until much later, that 

children understand; 

their stories and all their accomplishments, sit atop the stories 

of their mothers and fathers, stones upon stones, 

beneath the water of their lives.” 

Paul Coelho
