Life is hard. No one ever tells you that.
Marriage is work. No one lets you in on that little secret either.
Child Birth hurts. Not a secret, but for some reason it’s glossed over pretty well.
Here is another little tidbit. When you are trying to help your babies navigate this crazy world, sometimes they fall.
It might be just a scraped knee from a slip off their bike, or perhaps their heart is breaking because their best friend is moving away. Either way, it hurts.
I’m grateful that I’m the one they run to.
That while they are young, I can still help to fix things.
Sometimes Mom’s kiss makes the pain go away and my arms still hold some magic.
I know this won’t always be true.
Life is hard, and sometimes they fall.
I plan to do my best to make sure they always get back up again.
It IS hard…but so worth it!
It’s a hard job, but somebodies got to do it!
Very sweet post and oh so true!
Beautiful. I love this age, and since I know it’s not forever, I cherish every moment.
I totally agree with you. Although we won’t always be there when they fall, we will always do our best to help them up, to support them, however old they will me. My mum helps me up even at my (and her) age and even though she lives miles and miles away from me. Rhanks for the lovely post. Ciao. Antonella
This is beautiful. You are aw-summ!!
Doesn’t it just squeeze your heart blue when they hurt? I’m a weenie when it comes to pain but I sure wish I could take on my children’s pain to relieve them. Sweet post!
What a well written post – this totally captures motherhood on this, the week of Mother’s Day. Good job! I’m having a tough time right now with the letting them fall part. My little guy is going on 15 months old, and I understand that he needs to learn about falling, but boy does it scare me. And I’m pretty sure it’s not going to get easier.
I love being the mother and healer of all wounds, and I hope they still call on me their whole life…but kissing a teenage booboo just doesn’t seem as cute as kissing a baby booboo 😉
