You’re Still the Safe Place

Maybe they ran into school without looking back today.
Maybe they came home and melted into a puddle.
Maybe they told you they’re fine, but you could feel the wobble in their voice.

Whether you're the one they cling to or the one they push away,
You’re still their safe place.

Even when it’s messy.
Even when it’s loud.
Even when the connection feels more like a question mark than a hug.

You are the place they come back to,
not just with their arms,
but with their sighs,
their silences,
and their smallest truths.

They don’t need perfection.
They need presence.
And you already give that, even when you don’t realize it.

So if today felt like too much,
or not enough,
or both.
Please remember:

You’re still the safe place.
And that matters more than you know.

With love,
