“I love my mama forever and always”
Those were the little words my daughter wrote on a paper towel I had been using to jot down other things.
I was about to crumple it up and throw it away when I noticed her tiny handwriting.
I looked closer, and there it was…my heart melted. ♥️
A simple note. A few little words. And suddenly, my heart was full. ❤️
Between homework, school runs, activities, errands, housework, and everything else that fills my days, there are times I wonder if I’m making the positive impact on my daughter that I hope I am.
Sometimes, I find myself reminding, nagging, hollering more that I’d like to admit. 😬 😂
Then a little note like this reminds me that when I don’t see it, my love is making a difference.
So, to all the mamas who sometimes wonder if they’re doing enough…
YOU ARE. ❤️
Keep loving them, keep showing up, and remember to slow down enough to notice the little things. Those unexpected notes, smiles, and hugs are reminders of what truly matters.
And if you’re raising a teenager like I am, you know how precious those little expressions of appreciation can be! 😅
So, as for me? My baby is getting the BIGGEST hug when I see her today! 🤗
Life gets busy. Don’t let the little moments pass you by.
