Hey mama, today was one of those days where something my kid said just hit me in the gut. My son informed me he’s no longer little- he’s big and will only get bigger.
Do moments like this hit deep for you too? Let’s talk about the “WHY” this might feel so powerful:
•They remind us how fast time is moving- even when our hearts are begging it to slow down
•They mark the quiet grief of an ending, even as something beautiful is beginning
• They tap into our identity as caregivers - when they grow, our role shifts too
• They bring up the ache of wanting to remember every version of them
• They stir the tension between pride and loss, joy and sadness, all at once
✨And here’s the truth we don’t talk about enough:✨
• You can celebrate their growth and grieve what’s passing
• You don’t have to choose gratitude over sadness- both can coexist
• Holding space for both is not weakness… it’s emotional maturity
• This is what love looks like when it’s deep and real
Motherhood asks us to hold opposing emotions in the same breath- and somehow, we do 🤍
