Be the One

Be the one.

Be the one who holds her hand. Be the one who dances to her music. Be the one who stops and joins her in her dance. Be the one who looks her in the eyes and smiles. Be the one who stands with her holding her hands while others look on. Be the one who is her friend.

Because when you are that one, others will see that it’s okay to hold hands. Others will see that it’s okay to dance. Others will see that it’s okay to stop what they’re doing and join in her dance. When you are that one, you will empower others to come and join in her song and look into her eyes and smile and be her friend.

Be the one. And teach your children to be the one.

Be the one. Because the one encourages others.

And the world needs others. And my girl needs others. 

Thank you for being the one, Sophia. ❤
