Once In a Lifetime...

There are some days when I am so caught up in the grown up rush that I forget to look you in the eyes, touch your face, hug you close… remind you that I love you, cherish you have confidence in you… Sometimes, I get so caught up in grown-up thoughts that I forget that you’re still young and don’t understand when I worry too much over little things… Sometimes, I forget that your youth is limited and that Now is the perfect time to share it with you, make memories, take emotional photographs of your once in a lifetime moments. But just because my grown-up drama steals me from you from time to time… know that I can never forget my heart and you are in my thoughts… everything I did… wasn’t enough until I had you everything good in me… is better because you graced my life… everything I achieve it’s all because I know that you have as much faith in me as I have in you. You are my rationality when irrationality fractures my mind the spark that never wanes and I am overwhelmed by the realization that I have been given a once in a lifetime kind of love four times over... a once in a lifetime chance to be your only mom.
