Would You agree?💛 It's our greatest blessing and our greatest heart ache, watching our kids grow up. All those years of pouring our heart and soul into them...the snuggles, the bedtime stories, the pictures with Santa, the Elf of the Shelf, leaving cookies out for Santa and carrots for Rudolf, the before dawn wake up call eager to see what was left under the tree, and the frenzied, sugar-high excitement of the holiday season that was at times enough to drive us crazy. Poof. Just like that they grow up and it's all gone. And yet, there's something to be said for the deeper joy we get from connecting with our grown kids in a more meaningful way. The beauty of laughter, reminiscing, joking, and having adult conversation just as friends do. As hard as it can be to let go of the early stages of motherhood, each phase has its own blessings and magic. Remember to be present and grateful for all of it, because no matter what age you or your kids are, being a mom is one of the best gifts you'll ever receive.
