To My Child:

I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt apologies for not being present when you needed me today. I recognize how deeply you wished to share time with me, and I share that desire. Unfortunately, the day’s demands pulled me in different directions, and my responsibilities overshadowed our time together. It’s a bittersweet feeling, knowing that as you grow, each moment becomes more precious.

Every day I witness your transformation, from the shoes that no longer fit to the wise remarks from friends who remind me how quickly time flies. I longed to play and cuddle with you, but the weight of tasks at home and work made it impossible. Motherhood has turned out to be more demanding than I ever anticipated, making me realize how easily it can take away from our time together. The thought of missing milestones in your life truly pains me, but I promise to strive for better time management tomorrow.

I understand that this situation is unfair to you, and I hope you can see that my absence doesn’t equate to a lack of love. On the contrary, my motivation stems from my deep love for you; I am working to create a brighter future for us. I know that at your age, these concepts might be hard to grasp, but I trust that one day, when you have children of your own, you will understand my choices.

Today, it felt like you only saw a busy mother who was unavailable, despite my attempts to explain. Hearing your tears and your words, “I just want you,” made me realize that perhaps I’ve been so preoccupied with tomorrow that I overlooked what you needed today. I might have assumed you would understand my intentions someday, but I’m beginning to see that I should have focused on our present.

You needed to feel my love today, and I recognize my misstep. I’ve been so focused on planning for tomorrow that I failed to appreciate today. Although I’m unsure how to balance everything, I’ve decided that today will be dedicated to showing you just how much I care. The lessons you learn now are as crucial as those you will learn in the future.

Thank you, my dear child, for illuminating the understanding that I’ve missed. I promise to always be here for you, especially when you need me most—today.
