If, one day, I find a man who finds it impossible not to love me and if, one day, this man finds it impossible to spend a single day without me and if, one day, this man and I have a baby, I will tell this baby the following:
“You will never be able to make anyone like you. They either will. Or they won’t. And because your mother was forward thinking in her day (I was thisclose to creating Facebook) you don’t have to spend a single day of your life worrying over the ones who don’t.
I have already shed all the tears, spent all the hours waiting, had all the conversations, broken my own heart over and over again and allowed disappointment to bring me to my knees. I’ve already done all of this, so that you won’t have to.”




Love this. So profound.
That was sweet.
I would love for my mother to have done this for me so she could be able to say those words to me. She did not. So I suppose I will have to do this, so I can say those words to my child one day.
Sigh. I love it. But if the child is anything like me, she will listen and have to learn those lessons herself. Cruel world, it is…
you are going to make a wonderful mother someday.
Wow,
that was deep
Love this.
I agree with OC. But this, this was beautiful.
Hope – I accidentally strumbled across your blog today and I am 1,000% hooked! I’ve going back through all your entries and I positively adore everything I have read so far. Your writing “voice” is great and so many entries have been exactly what I need to hear/read right now. So a million thank yous!
I love this.
