Taryn - Senior.

“Creator God, who parents us all, hold my heart as I practice letting go. May this bittersweet pang point me toward a deeper truth, where each small goodbye - be it silly or tense, tired or tender - is a chance to give thanks for the gift of this child, and to remember that they are neither my possession nor my identity.

I am not the author of their story, Lord. You are. I am not their ultimate protector, Lord. You are. This is both a relief and a surrender, as I release the prideful notion that my proximity secures their safety.” - Part of Every Moment Holy’s Liturgy for Dropping Off a Child at School

Enjoyed this senior session with Taryn so very much.
