"I miss you mommy" 💔 This summer has reminded me that I am the only irreplaceable thing in my daughter's life.
After we talked about how much she wanted to spend time with me I spent that night looking at all the cool things we could go do together.
The next morning when I asked her what she had had in mind she simply asked "Can we do puzzles like we used to? All day?" 🥹
Kids are so simple.
She didn't need to be in every summer camp we could find so she could be around more kids.
She didn't need me to panic and take her somewhere "fun" when she said she missed me.
I didn't need to buy her anything.
She just needed me to LISTEN.
She wanted ME 💕
I ended up cancelling her last summer camp for the year. She still has theater because that's her passion, but everything else was just filler anyway 🤷♀️
So much of life is. Just filler. For what?
There are only so many years that my daughter will want me above everything else. I'm not going to miss them 🫶
If you have a chance today maybe get down on the floor with yours today and just be there.
It's possible YOU need it as much as they do 💓
