Right now, your B is soaring through the floorboards as you practice an audition song in front of your sister. Earlier the two of you went over your homework with one another and tried to unpack math. I am upstairs with your dad and I can tell you that right now, this moment, is hands down, the best moment of my day.
My two children helping each other, supporting each other, encouraging each other, my best friend sitting by my side, bearing witness to these beautiful moments; who could ask for anything more?
357 day Part Two:
My habit is to write the blog and then let it sit for a bit before posting. After I wrote, I went down stairs filled with all the warm feels only to stumble into a classic parent phenomenon, "the melt down that came out of nowhere."
The whole time that I was talking with you and listening to you, you kept checking in with me and saying, “I am so sorry I am stressing you out.” My darling child, hear me, you are not stressing me out. Parenting you is never stressful, watching you wrestle with your emotions and feelings is not stressful, holding you while you cry is not stressful. My life is full and rich because of you and your sibling and moments like these, where you are hurting and I am able to provide comfort, while difficult, are so special to me.
I love being your mom, and I love you.
