I would carry you on my shoulders so you could see better…
““I would carry you on my shoulders so you could see better. I used to think to myself, I will do whatever it takes to be able to carry you forever. I will join a gym. I will lift weights. I will never let on that you’ve grown too big for this, that you’ve gotten too heavy. It never occurred to me that one day you might ask to walk on your own.””
