{when you look back}




love. cuddles. make believe. warmth.

you. me.

this is what i want you to remember. when you look back.

it's us. every day here, in our little family. watching you flourish. astonished.

when you look back, i want you to remember our moments; if not clearly, then remember them as a blur of happiness.

i want your entire childhood to be one delicious blur of happiness.

i want you to know how important you are. i want you to look back and see how your spirit grew, how you became who you are today, someone i don't know yet know, but will never forget.

i want you to love you as much as i love you.

'i want you to love you as much as i love you.'

that is the most beautiful wish that I have ever heard, witnessed, known. It's something so normal and real, something that we never acknowledge. Days when you are extra hard on yourself, down about whatever, insecure... It's difficult to understand that your mom wants you to love you, to see yourself, to appreciate yourself in the ways that she does.
I think that we all need to take the time to realise this...
It's beautiful.
