ASKING SON’S FORGIVENESS
I seek your forgiveness for all the times I talked when I should have listened; Got angry when I should have been patient; Acted when I should have waited; Feared when I should have been delighted; Scolded when I should have encouraged; Criticized when I should have complimented; Said no when I should have said yes; And said yes when I should have said no. I did not know a whole lot about parenting or how to ask for help. I often tried too hard and wanted and demanded so much, and mistakenly sometimes tried to mold you in my image of what I wanted you to be rather than discovering and nourishing you as you emerged and grew. A quote by Marian Wright Edelman, from How Good Do We Have to Be? by Rabbi Harold Kushner
