When you fall, lay there for a few moments - ponder the last few steps - before you pick yourself back up again. Understanding the decisions that led to your face plant is every bit as important as the ability to climb back to your feet.
And please... PLEASE get back on your feet - even when it feels like you have no more energy, confidence, or will. Army crawling your way through life was only cute when you were 6 months old.
(and man were you both the cutest babies!)
Your Momma has always learned her greatest lessons by falling flat on her face, scraping herself along the asphalt for a few moments, and then slowly scraping her stubborn, pissed off body from the floor. I hope you can learn life lessons much easier than I have learned mine. If not, rejoice in that road rash... It will teach you how to be a better you.
Remember: you'll never be too old for me to kiss your owie, and never do anything wrong enough for me to stop loving you. You can forget everything else, but never forget how to come home to me.
I love you & I like you,
Momma
You're a wonderful mommy! Beautifully expressed thoughts!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post. Your boys are so cute by the way :)
ReplyDeleteJust was reading a few post. Always fun to read as you express your feelings in ways I may feel, but don't know how to put into words.
