The Most Important Collection

Dear Parents, As your children we love collecting things… We collect bugs. We collect dolls. We collect the feathers that fall from birds. But we’re also listening to everything you say and collecting all your words. Your words of compassion. Your words of joy. When you call someone a name. Your words of love. Your words of hate. We collect them all the same. And when we get a little older (we’re sure you won’t find this confusing) the words we’ve collected from you are the words we will be using. So this is a just a gentle reminder from the time we’re very small the words we’re collecting from you will become our most important collection of them all. Love, Your children.
