Piece by piece

I recently stumbled across Kelly Clarkson’s new album and while listening one of her three tops hits from the album, Piece by Piece, it made me realize how lucky I am.

While I still firmly believe that we as humans should always strive to be our best, especially parents, the lyrics of this song reminds me that things could have been worse, I could have been the scarred girl depicted in the song, or was abused by my parents or had been abandoned completely by my parents. Sure my family isn’t perfect, my parents aren’t perfect, but they’re mine and they have always been with me my entire life. So, with everything that has happened, all the bad times along with the good, thank you dad for always sticking around.
