As you peacefully sleep, the burdens of the day seem to fade away from my mind. The challenges we faced are replaced by the joy of simply watching you. I take a moment to memorize every detail of your face and the little dimples in your fingers. If only I could rewind time and remind you of how well you did today and how incredibly proud I am of you. My hope is that I loved you enough today.
On our drive to school, I catch a glimpse of your precious face in the rearview mirror. I can’t help but reflect on the morning’s events and question myself: Did I love you enough today? Amidst the morning rush—rushing through brushing teeth, washing hands, and using your special stool—through breakfast and hurried coffee, as we picked out your clothes and exchanged goodbyes filled with hugs and kisses, I wonder. Did I love you enough today?
As the evening unfolds, filled with dinner, bath time, play, and storybooks, I still ask myself: Did I give you enough of my full attention? Did I hold you close, snuggle you tight, and shower you with kisses? Did I teach you what you need to know? Was I too strict? Did I listen to your stories with care? Did I remind you of how smart and capable you are? Did I love you enough?
It’s essential for me that you know—no, it’s vital—that every day you are cherished. I will dedicate every moment granted to me in this life to demonstrate that love and to remind you of your significance, your value, and your strength. When I ask, “Do you know how much mommy loves you?” and you respond, “As BIG as the sky,” I hope you truly feel it. I want it to resonate within you, carrying you through even the darkest days. No matter where life leads you, I hope you always remember it.
Because I will ALWAYS be here for you. Cheering you on, supporting you through victories, and comforting you during the tough times. During moments of joy and through the frustrations, tantrums, and your blossoming independence, even on days when you test my patience or challenge my teachings. I am right here beside you. In your stumbles and mistakes, I will be the one catching you, loving you through it all.
I hope I loved you enough today, my little one, because you are, and will always be, the most significant part of my life.
