To my sweet babies (who somehow aren’t so little anymore)!
Watching you grow is one of the most beautiful and bittersweet parts of motherhood. Every new milestone fills me with pride - and reminds me that time doesn’t slow down for anyone.
There are a few things I hope you carry with you as you grow:
Not just when you’re doing your best, but always. On your tired days, your quiet days, your everything-in-between days - my love for you never changes.
The world may try to dim your light, but it can’t. You are smart, creative, kind, and full of potential. Never forget who you are or where you come from.
Mistakes are part of learning. I’m not here to judge you - I’m here to walk beside you, cheer for you, and help you grow through it all.
Ask questions. Explore. Try new things. The world is big and beautiful - and I hope you never stop seeking your place in it.
As your mom, I’m growing too. I’m learning to give you space and let go - little by little - while always being your safe place to land.
I hope when you look back on your childhood, you remember the laughs, the hugs, the quiet moments, and how deeply you were loved.
Forever your biggest fan,
Mommy
