Happy Mother’s Day to all you lovely mamas 🌸💕 As a mom of 4 children ranging from age 1 to 13 I’d like to share with you this little text which makes me cherish motherhood so much more. It makes me more aware of how fast time goes and to not be too focused on having everything perfect. It goes like this: One day, they stop running to you first thing in the morning. The sound of little footsteps in the hallway, that hug in your bed... slowly fades into silence and a closed bedroom door. They stop saying, “Mom, Dad, look!” They don’t run to you anymore to show every little rock or every drawing. Slowly, their world becomes quieter... and more their own. One day, they stop holding your hand when you walk. And suddenly, you feel that emptiness. Not because the love is gone... but because they’re growing up. One day, they stop falling asleep in your arms. That little head on your shoulder, the sound of their breathing slowing down... these are moments that end without warning. At some point, they stop believing your kiss can fix everything. Once, a bandage was enough. Then the deepest wounds start hiding in music and in silence... no longer in your arms. They stop bringing you their little “treasures.’ Leaves, pieces of paper, tiny finds. That pure, spontaneous love... just becomes less. Childhood isn’t a rehearsal. It’s happening right now. And while they still ask to be held and call for you all day... cherish every moment. One day, these moments will become just memories ♥️ mothersday motherhood childhood momof4 family Dress by @retrostage_official AD LTKdresses LTKbaby LTKkids
