It’s not the grand gestures. Not the perfectly curated outings. Just the ordinary minutes where we choose them over the noise.
Because to a child, time means more than hours on a clock. It means I see you. You matter here. You are worth slowing down for.
It’s in the stories we read when we’re tired, the walks that have no destination, the meals where we linger a little longer. It’s in the space we make to listen, even when their words tumble out slowly, even when we’re busy.
Love, to them, is measured in presence. In knowing they don’t have to compete with a screen, a schedule, or a to-do list for our attention.
One day they’ll outgrow the toys, the games, the routines. But the memory of time spent — of being chosen, again and again — will stay.
Because in the end, what they’ll remember most isn’t what we gave them. It’s that we gave them ourselves. ❤️
