You won’t remember every sleepless night or the tears that came from pure exhaustion.

You won’t even remember how tired you felt or how you questioned if you were doing enough.

Not how many times you whispered, “I can’t, ” and still did.

Does not matter what was left undone on your to-do list.

The messy kitchen.

The days that felt endless and the plans you postponed.

But you will always remember…  

How their fingers curled around yours. 

The softness of their skin. The smell of their tiny head.

You will remember the feeling of being needed, of being their safe place.

You will remember every moment where your heart melts ♡  

that will stay with you forever.
