Independence

     We appreciate the advantages of being an independent nation, no longer controlled by another country.  We realize the advantages of being an independent adult, no longer controlled by our parents.  We understand the necessity of raising our children to become independent adults.
     Independence increases our freedom and forces us to become stronger.  We learn to take care of ourselves, pay our own way, and not expect others to solve our problems or assume our responsibilities.  We  make our own decisions and take control of our lives.
     Being independent does not mean leading solitary or lonely lives.  We still need to love and be loved, to give and receive help.  Sometimes, we lose our independence because of health problems or in times of emotional or financial crisis.
     Independence is a grownup accomplishment that takes inner strength and endurance.  We should encourage it in others and continue developing it in ourselves.  Celebrate independence!
