To every mother…

To every mother…

We see our kids every day and sometimes don’t realize how much they are growing and changing. We still see them as little, no matter how much they have grown!

We want to give them wings…and then we cry the day they decide to use them.

They say when a child is born, that is the day you start wearing your heart outside of your body. Motherhood creates strength as well as fragility.

To every child…

If we could, we would keep you in a bubble, safe and protected from the world. 

And we would go back to all the times we were caught up in busyness of everyday life and just stop and snuggle with you…amid the mess and dirty dishes and loads of dirty laundry.

Just snuggle. And not miss any moments.

I know I’m going to close my eyes for a moment and my time with you will be coming to an end. I don’t ever want to close my eyes.

So I reach out and grab you hand and hold on. For now.

“I love you forever, I’ll like you for always, as long as I’m living my baby you’ll be.”

My Son

Babies don’t stay this tiny long enough!
