They say children are a gift from heaven, but perhaps they are actually a trust from heaven.

⭐️ Children are a 'gift from heaven'

People say that children are a

gift from heaven✨
(sazukarimono)

, don't they?

At one point, I suddenly thought,

maybe children are a

trust from heaven✨
(azukarimono)

instead.🤗

A gift from heaven

sounds like

it creates the illusion
that they belong to the person
who received them.💧

Because children are treasures
and belong to us,
as parents
we feel a sense of responsibility
to raise them properly

and protect them.

They are certainly treasures
and very precious, but

it feels as if
the child's life
is the parent's responsibility...

While raising children,
I watch my own words and actions,

thinking I didn't do well,
I messed up,
I'm no good.

I end up
blaming myself like that😓
or searching for the right answer.💦

⭐️ Children are a 'trust from heaven'

Children are a

trust from heaven✨

If that's the case, then?

It means we are just
taking care of them
for the first part of their lives.😄

I decided to think of it that way.✨

The tension in my shoulders
and the thought that "I have to do it right"
turned into

"I guess we can just grow together🌱"

"I guess we can just enjoy it together🌱"

and I felt relieved.🌈

It feels like I've been given the role
of taking care of them until they can stand on their own and fly away

🕊
in this world.😄

⭐️ Whose life is it?

From there,

a child's life is
　　　the child's own✨

I realized that.

Things not going as planned

and

things you cannot control

and

being able to accept them,
I felt relieved,
and I was able to gain a perspective
that it's just how things are.👀

⭐️ What can we do?

What parents can dois really just

『To watch over,　
　　to support, and
　　　to lend a helping hand』

🍀

⭐️ Lending a helping hand

When my child looks sad,
my heart aches too.😰

If I could,
I would want to remove
all the unpleasant feelings and painful experiences for them.

But
in reality, that's impossible.

Instead,

“I want to be someone who can help
　　when something happens”✨


Since I cannot
keep them locked away in a treasure chest💎,

I will help my child
gain the strength to walk their own life,
the strength to become independent,

and acquire those skills.🌈✨

And then,

let's support them✨

That is how
I have raised my children.😊

⭐️ Because one day they will spread their wings and fly away

Until the day they fly out into the world🕊
Until the day they become independent🕊

Let us cherish them while they are in our care✨

I would also like to be grateful
for the bond I have with my child💕
