WHAT I WANT TO REMEMBER FROM TODAY.
9:46 PM
When I was a little girl, I never wanted to be away from my mother. She was my best friend, my confidant, and my partner in crime. We did everything together. She is still my best friend. She is still my confidant, as well as my partner in crime. But with the passing of time comes change, and while I want her next to me always, I have come to realize that the world has different plans. Children grow up. They move away and on with their lives, while parents simply must sit back and let them.
This thought saddens me to no avail. I wish that I could just sit at home, and curl up next to my mother until the end of days, but I can't. I am a grown woman with 23 years under her belt. There comes a time in everyone's life when they must move on. My mother will always be part of my life. She will help me everyday. She will hold my hand before I walk down the aisle. She will hear me screaming when my babes are born. She will sit and hold my hand when they're sick and I'm powerless to make them better. She will continue to be my rock forever more.
I need to remember that even though I never wanted to grow up, it has happened. I need to live my own life for me. I know my mother will be proud of whatever decisions I make in this life, and she will support me fully for my efforts at being human.
What do I want to remember from today? I want to remember how much my mom loves me. How much she does for me. I want to remember that even though we can't always be a mile apart, we will always be there for each no matter the cost.
