To those who have also lost their mother….
My strong and sassy mother left this earth three weeks after my first baby was born. And, oh, how I miss her. Every. Single. Day.
I have two simple words for all the moms out there living without their mom…
She knows.
When you’re holding your new baby…
She knows.
When you graduate (again)…
She knows.
When you sound just like her…..
She knows. (And she thinks it’s hilarious).
When your heart aches…
She knows.
When you are shopping like a boss….
She knows (besides, she’s the one who taught you how).
When you eat cake for breakfast….
She knows (she taught you that, too).
When you lay on the beach…
She knows (her toes are also in the sand).
When you kids make you so proud you want to burst…
She knows.
When you burn the biscuits …
She knows. (Shit happens).
When you tell your daughters “Mimi Stories”…
She knows.
When you visit her mom and stay the day.
She knows (and she’s smiling).
When you spend every Mother’s Day with her best friend, whose mom also knows…
She knows.
When you realize motherhood is no joke…
She knows (and she told you so).
When you wish you could have just one more day with her…
She knows.
So, smile and enjoy the memories…after all, she always was a know it all!
Beautifully said ?
