There are moments when I find myself shedding tears for you, my dear child. Sometimes, I cry because the vastness of the world feels so immense, and you, so tiny. My heart is heavy with concerns about your smallness in such a grand space. Other times, I weep for myself, realizing that as you grow, I seem to shrink in your eyes. The enormity of my love for you can feel overwhelming, my heart too confined to contain it all—a sensation that often mirrors the pain of a breaking heart.
I cry for the beauty of who you are, and at times, the weight of the responsibility that accompanies it. In the journey of gaining you, I have relinquished parts of my own identity. Though I wouldn’t trade this gift for anything, I sometimes find myself yearning for the person I used to be. Your delicate skin, vibrant eyes, and pure spirit bring me joy, yet I mourn for the inevitable loss of your innocence as you encounter the harsh realities of life.
There are moments when I feel powerless to assist you in ways that truly matter, and that helplessness can evoke a deep sense of fear. As a parent, there’s no escaping the daily demands of life; wearing my metaphorical “big-girl panties” can be a struggle. The exhaustion I feel isn’t just about lack of sleep; it’s a profound weariness that settles deep within me.
I hear echoes of divinity in your laughter and find joy in your existence that surpasses mere smiles. The blessings of parenthood are immense, and my heart, though small, must find a way to contain this overflow of love and emotion. There are times when all of this—the love, the anxiety, the beauty, the burdens—it becomes simply too much.
So, I weep for you, for me, and for the complexities of this vast world. There are countless reasons—some wonderful, some heartbreaking—that you will only understand when you experience parenthood yourself.
