He will be better than us. He will experience more than us. He will learn more than us. He will fail. He will be hurt and hurt people. He will question himself. He will recover and he will succeed. He will grow into an amazing man who will change someone’s life. He will explore more.

We do not strive to make him like us. We don’t want that life for him. He will be better than us.
