"Sometimes I forget how amazing it is to be a mother. I forget what it feels like to have you run to me and squeeze me as tight as your little arms can stand and then kiss me and say with more sincerity than I know how to describe, "I love you mom. I hope when I'm a mom I'm just like you." And then you run off to play like it's no big deal, while I'm left teary eyed, contemplating the importance of being your mother. Sometimes I get too wrapped up in BEING a mother with the cooking and cleaning and bill-paying and disciplining and teaching and organizing that I forget to be your mother. You don't care about the things that stress me out, that I stretch myself so thin trying to get done every day. You only care about feeling loved and important. Do I stop what I'm doing to sit still and listen to all that you have to say... even when you stumble over your words so many times that it takes you an eternity to get it out? Do I say 'yes' often enough when you ask if I want to play dress up or Barbies or read a book or play a game? Am I doing what matters most or am I filling my time with the things that mostly matter? I spend so much time teaching you and talking to you and explaing things, but are my actions saying that you are the most important thing in the world to me? Am I making you feel important and worth every ounce of my attention? That's what I feel. That's what I want you to know more than anything. But sometimes there are too many, 'just a minute's and 'maybe later's and 'not right now's. Not anymore. I'm going to laugh and play and giggle and be silly and sit by your side and listen with all my heart. I'm going to make sure that you know without a doubt that I love you and that being your mother is the most important thing in the world to me. Because it is."
