My beautiful girls,
One of you is 2 years old and the other 2 months. Already I love you both a love so fierce...so encompassing...it makes me vulnerable, hopeful, weak, and strong all at the same time.
I can't imagine a day when we won't be living in our fun little bubble all the time. A day when I am no longer the most important person in your life, or no longer your main source of fun and comfort. My heart tells me I won't have to...it whispers a better story: we'll be different from all other mothers and daughters in history. We'll never have our differences, we'll see eye to eye on everything, and we'll always be each other's best friends.
But my mind tells me there will be days that are not all tickles and cuddles and times when we may have our differences and argue about things.
So if my mind turns out to know better than my heart, and some day one of you is mad at me and refusing to listen, I hope you'll read these ten things I wrote at a time when I couldn't picture our relationship being anything less than blissful.
- I will always love you...no matter what. My love for you is unconditional, and at the bottom of this infinite love in my heart, you will always find forgiveness. There may be times I don't love your behavior or your choices, but whatever we may be going through, whatever any of us has done, know that through every second of it, I love you with every fiber of my being. Without conditions. Forever.
