This is the stage of life I am at right now. The stage where my skin is starting to wrinkle and my hair is turning grey. The stage where I can't even remember the last time I had my own thought or did something that set my soul on fire.
How do we become the greatest mother possible and still keep that part of ourselves?
And it hit me the other day as I watched my teenager getting ready for a date with her boyfriend....
To her, I gave my beauty. I am constantly in awe of how God could make one human so perfect. What amazes me the most is she isn't even aware of the beauty that she possesses.
To my only son, I gave my mind. His ideologies are endless and the depth of his thoughts are extraordinary.
And to my sweet baby girl, I gave my spirit. She is full of joy, laughter, and charisma. Every single step she takes somehow becomes a song and a dance. Her heart explodes with compassion and empathy.
We can spend motherhood grieving the child we once were or we can embrace that little girl living on in the eyes, hearts, and minds of our children. 💗
