HER WORLD IS GROWING

I’m in such a momentous pocket of life right now. She’s been by my side from day one, and now she’s going to kindergarten. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙨𝙩 𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙨𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙡 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙨𝙩 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙤𝙤…a part of my heart is going to be out in the world without me. I’ve loved and protected her for the past five years and now I have to loosen the reigns for her to find her own way.

I try to remind myself that this is part of my job: She should be needing me a little less each day if I am raising her to be confident, independent, and capable. I pour so much of myself into her life and happiness. The truth is that her world is growing, and I guess I just hope I always have a place in it.
