"There are moments in parenthood that take your breath away — not because they’re big or grand, but because they’re simple. A hug in the yard. A giggle you didn’t want to end. The weight of your little one resting in your arms, trusting you completely. These are the memories that sneak up on you, the ones you know will stay in your heart long after the toys are packed away and the house grows quiet.
Someday, they’ll grow taller, stronger, braver. Someday, these tiny arms won’t fit around your neck, and they won’t need you to hold them this way. But right now, in this fleeting moment, they do — and that is everything.
Parenthood is a thousand little goodbyes and a million tiny hellos. It’s learning to let go while holding on with all you’ve got. It’s bittersweet and beautiful, and it makes your heart ache in ways you never expected.
So here’s to the quiet moments that matter more than we’ll ever know — the everyday magic we’ll spend a lifetime missing once it’s gone."
