I had a friend say to me today that she couldn't wait to get back to work...she had just had her sweet baby M about six weeks ago. She then proceeded to tell me that she felt guilty about saying that sometimes. I too had carried this guilt and some days it still wants to creep in.
Am I enough?
Am I doing enough?
Do I love her enough?
The answers to all these questions is yes. I do all I can and I love her to the moon and back! My heart can't possibly hold all the love I have for her.
I only make it to about 75% of her class parties, she doesn't always have the most nutritious breakfast, lunch, or dinner in the world. I can't be at school helping out the teacher. I can't go on field trips all the time. I can't eat lunch with her at school everyday or even every month.
This is what I do know. She eats everyday. She bathes everyday. Her home is warm and she has clean clothes to wear everyday. I'm only a phone call away. I always be there when she wants to talk. I'll cuddle her at night and tell her I love her. She'll never have to wonder if I care. Some days she will be so mad at me, but I won't care because at least I know she is safe.
She is my favorite!
My sweet K got glasses this week and will start braces this summer. We had an eventful week and she handled it like a trooper. She definitely got my eyes and teeth! Ha!
