I have three teenagers, and when they were little, life was busy, exhausting, and sometimes I found myself wishing they would grow up faster. 🥹
Now I know better.
I know how quickly it all goes. ⏳
Every stage they leave behind is gone forever. There will never be another first slide, another toddler laugh, another little hand reaching for mine. 💛
With Jad, I try to slow down and soak it all in. Not because I love him more, but because I finally understand how precious these years really are. ✨
And maybe that’s why this hits a little harder… in just 4 days, he’ll turn 7. 🎂😭
Every birthday feels a little bittersweet. It’s like saying goodbye to a version I’ll never meet again.
So these days, I cherish the chaos, the giggles, and even the little moments that seem ordinary. 🌿🤍
Because one day, I’ll miss them the most. 🫶
