I don’t know how you nana he to capture my feelings to a tee. This. These are thoughts in my head constantly. They are growing up so fast and when I can I will literally look at them close my eyes and try to memorize how they look or memorize the “little” voice before it’s gone. I’m trying to hard to soak it all in but it’s not helping. It’s still going just as fast. Time is still a jerk. I just want it to be like this forever, 12, 10 and 6 but I said that when my oldest was 4 and somehow she is 12. I still somehow manage to get so sad about it. Almost daily. But I suppose all we can do is our best and convince ourselves it will be beautiful at every stage. Thank you.

'So, worrying will break your heart. And your heart needs to be strong to be a mother.'

Wow. Spot on. And all of it. Thank You.

I am in between careers, healing from health issues. My mom passed recently. Trying to give my twin twelve year olds the attention and care I usually do. What a great reminder to worry more about doing my best, and, as I say, 'eyes on my own paper'. 💕
