Short Story : Leaving behind a legacy

Leaving behind a legacy
She had just got an opportunity to work somewhere, something which would be great for her growth and her cv. She on the other hand couldn't let go of the baby she had created...how could she just hand over all the toil and effort to somebody, not knowing how they would take care of it. After a lot of discussion and heated arguments, her boss told her- its your baby and it will always be so. No one can take it away from you but look at it this way. The standard has been set. You will be passing the mantle to some one to take care and better it. You will leave behind a legacy. They may succeed, they may not but if they do, you should feel proud...that your baby has learnt to walk and run.  have faith in the ideologies and values you have instilled. If you don't, then it will only be detrimental for your own growth.
