One year. 🎂
One year of giggles and smiles.
One year of milestones.
One year of diaper changes,
and one year of wrestling you into clothes.
A year of bathtimes to play and snuggle,
and of nighttimes when only mama will do.
A year of tears for us both,
and a year of you falling asleep at my breast.
A year of trying to put you to sleep,
then wanting to wake you and hold you in my arms.
A year of washing dish after dish and load of laundry after load of laundry.
A year of packing away the tiniest beautiful clothes you grew out of every month.
A year of watching you grow, learn, become.
And a year of myself doing the same.
I celebrate the end of this first year and making it through, while I still hold it so tenderly in grief. May we have many many more together and may I learn just as much from you every time. Love you Brinley Rose.
