yesterday i held a tiny, perfectly formed wee person. born far far too early. yet with the most amazing strength. and two more beautiful people started on the amazing journey that is parenthood.
and it just seems like yesterday. it honestly does. when we held our tiny bundle. so small. she fitted perfectly into the crooks of our arms. and everything around her seemed so enormous. so giant like.
and time doesn’t stand still. it never will. its not meant to.
but sometimes i just wish it would.
even on the days when her will seems so much stronger than mine.
i still so often catch my breath.
and am bowled over.
knocked backwards.
at the fierce love that gets gifted back to me by her.
and i read this today. and thought. this is being a parent.
“imagine my surprise when you loved me back”
