I can’t believe you’re 4! When you were just a few days old, I was 100% occupied with cradling you in my arms – all day and all night. Putting you down for a second or even allowing someone else to hold you was torture. I treasured every literal second with you. Everything in my life looked so different from the first moment I saw you.
One of those long afternoons spent soaking you in I heard a song that perfectly described how life felt with you.
The Brightest Hour
by The Submarines
Wandering through starry skies and when tomorrow’s day arrives
I’ll be a moment closer to the brightest hour here with you
One step closer, getting brighter
One step closer, getting brighter
Wandering through starry skies and when tomorrow’s day arrives
I’ll be a moment closer to the brightest hour here with you
Since you were just days old, this has been the song I sing to you every night. As I hold you close to my chest, I marvel at how much you have grown. My little girl, the one who made me a Mama. You are the greatest gift, the bright light in my life. I love your laughter, your imagination, your overflowing joy. I love you more with every year that passes. My devotion to you is powerful, all-consuming, and impossible to be comprehended in any rational way.
