I know that being Mom means I need to carefully guide my little chickadees through life safely. I’m the person they go to for advice and encouragement and fun. Right now they prefer me above all people.
I know this.
I also know that it won’t always be this way. They will grow up and bring new friends and boyfriends and girlfriends into their inner circles and they will prefer their company. They are not going to want me to know their secrets and I might not want to know what kind of fun they’re having.
I know this.
The most meaningful moment I’ve had this year happened when after ignoring my pleas to sit still in a dressing room, I really stopped to see them. Together. In all their squirminess…cracking each other up.
It was in that moment I recognized the friendship they are building with each other is the foundation of something special they’ll carry with them forever. When I’m no longer the person they go to for advice and encouragement and fun…they will have each other.
I love this.
And you know what? One day they will have children and they will freak out and they will all come running back to me. I will regain my position as the person they go to for advice and encouragement and fun.
I will clap my hands and scream, “I knew you would come back to me!!” …another meaningful moment I look forward to having.
