We think the big moments are the big moments. But the fabric of your life is not your wedding day, the moments you take to your grave are not the 1st grade school portrait you weren’t there for.
The moments that matter are the little ones, the ones where you’re fully present, the mundane.
Those moments that you don’t realize are special until much later, when you wish you could get ice cream with the kids one more time. You’ll wonder what you looked like pushing them on the swing at your favorite park. You’ll play over the hot day you turned on the sprinkler and ate popsicles in the back yard. Well ache for one more trip to the fair and wonder when they got too big to ride the carousel with you.
Those are the moments that build their childhood and fill your motherhood. Hold onto them.
