Journaling:
Has it been one year already? Mama thought time flew by too fast, I can still remember the day I gave birth. It seems if it was only yesterday.
You became more independent, playing on your own, quietly sitting in your rocker while Mama did her household chores. You grew to love your siblings who fought over you like you were the seasons hottest toy. You made noise for milk, for naps & for a change of diapers.
The months passed more quickly then I ever thought humanly possible. With each month that passed you grew and learned new skills; most recently, your first step. Mama was beaming with pride & joy for you took the longest time to take that independent step. Without support. Without Mama. Without anyone. Now, I feel a tinge of sadness, even though I know I shouldn’t, because it would mean that you’ll start walking, running… away from Mama. You’ll have your own friends, you’ll fall in love, you’ll get married & pretty soon, you’ll have a family of your own. Mama is starting to think you’re leaving me already. I’ve become more attached to you than you to me.
But, I’ll have the next 20 years or so to get myself adjusted. To face reality. So, my little one, go on, explore the world with those tiny feet of yours today. Soon, you may realize that it’s not as perfect as you think but you can be assured that daddy& Mama will always be here for you always.
Love,
Your Mama
