My donut,
I will always remember the day when you said that you see me as your best friend.
To me, that is one of my significant accomplishment as a parent. Because as a parent, I have decided not to position myself as a parent since the very beginning.
I do not want you to be scared of me. I do not want you to see me as more superior than you. I do not want you to see me as a person who you need to obey and that everything I do is right.
I want you to see us as equal. I want us to share, to support each other, to push and to challenge each other.
So when you said that I am your best friend and that you feel you can share anything with me, I took that as the highest compliment. I am happy that we can create an open and honest communication. Thank you for sharing your stories and for trusting me with your secrets. Thank you for always lending me your ears and for sharing your honest opinion.
I do too have a best friend!
Your minion
