packaged pride

what is it like to make someone proud?
it is a feeling opposite but just as deep as heartache
it never felt so real until it happened.
when you miss someone, and you say your heart hurts, it actually hurts.
heartache is exactly what it sounds like.
but a proud parent is a precious gift
or a privilege
or both because gifts are privileges. 
i advise that the wrapping paper be saved and reused.
for that feeling is the same no matter when or what; making someone proud hurts so good
because you didn't do it right until now.
