I’d give them the last bite of food in the house before eating it. I would stay up late reading until they fell asleep. Wash their sheets after a long night of upset tummies and a warm place to lay when they’ve had a nightmare. I’d show them it’s okay to cry, be angry and how to forgive. I’ll show them the moon and stars, how to grow a plant from a seed and how to harvest a vegetable after a summer of nurturing them day in and day out. I will keep my word, my promise, my love, unconditionally.
I will tell them how much they mean to me, each and every time I lay my eyes on them. I will nurture each question with a question to help them process their thoughts. I will keep them safe, warm and happy until my last breath has been taken.
What will I not do? I will not suppress their curiosity. I will not make them be like me. I will not tell them how to choose something, rather I will offer options and help them choose for themselves. I will not force them to be someone they are not, I will not ever stifle their creativity nor will I help others suppress my child's ideas.
I will be their mum, until my last breath is taken, I will not ever stop loving them.
