Project 52, Week 48; You Are Loved
Another year is winding down. Another Christmas come and gone faster each year. I was looking through photos over the past year and started getting teary eyed just in awe of how much you’ve changed and grown. You started the year a baby, just learning to walk and explore the world around you. You’re ending the year a full blown toddler with more personality every day. A little human with an opinion and desires. I knew it was happening, but to see it in photos puts it all in perspective. All the more reason to not let time go by without documenting it in some way. You may think it’s over kill some day but I’ll just flip through old photo books and reminisce at how you much you loved to play kitchen, and how you dance at the slightest hint of music playing. The photos I take aren’t just for me sweet girl, I want you to know what life is like now. What my own heart was thinking during the sleepless nights and toddler tantrums. I want you to know that life is exactly as it should be. I want you to know that motherhood really doesn’t change that much and I went through the same things as my mother and you will some day too.
I want you to know that your identity is not tied to any one title. You are the sum of everything in life. You are loved for who you are, by not only me and your daddy, but God as well. I mean it when I say you have taught me so much in your short life, I can only imagine what the next 50 years will look like. Loving you is such an unexpected wondrous adventure. 
And one last words of wisdom, mostly to remind myself. The sooner you come to terms with everything (including travel) with children is going to different and more likely more difficult, the happier you will be. I’ll be honest, a part of me still thinks I’m traveling on my own and can read a book on a plane….What was I thinking?
