As I sit here with what seems like the weight of the world on my shoulders, I see you, my babies. You keep me grounded. You bring me back to what matters most. You remind me of who I am. You remind me why I do the things I do. In this crazy time where it seems all I do is worry, I see your laughter and care free heart. I see you find the fun in every situation. I see the way you look at me and your daddy, as if we can do no wrong, as if we have all the answers, as if we hung the moon. I will always do everything in my power to protect you physically and emotionally. I pray I can help you hold on to your innocence for years to come. I pray you look back on your childhood one day with joy and love. And happiness. I hope you know everyday how loved you are. I hope you forgive me on the days it’s harder to hide my impatience, and that weight that I do in fact, carry on my shoulders.

My babies. No matter how old you get, you will always be my babies, you inspire me. You remind me that dreams come true. You are proof of miracles. You remind me the simple things are the best, most worth it things. The ones that don’t come with a price tag. The things that are truly most important. I thank God every day that He blessed me with you. And in the middle of all the stress and noise of this world, I hope all you see and feel from me is love. Security. Happiness. Because my dear babies, you bring me all of those things and more everyday.
