Its just the way it is. Its my role, my job, my purpose, my happiness, my pleasure, my life. I wouldn't change a thing.

I know I have to let go as you get older,
but I’m focusing on holding on.

Holding on to being your biggest fan and cheerleader.
Holding on to the warmth of your smile and the sound of your laughter.
Holding on to feeling so deeply, no matter your age.
Holding on to how grateful I am to be your mom.

Holding on to the twinkle in your eyes when I tell you that I love you.
Holding on to the promise that I will always offer you guidance, advice, and support.
Holding on to carrying you in my heart, wherever you may go.
Holding on to the beauty of the past,
the gift of the present,
and the joy of the future.

Holding on to the feel of your head gently resting on my shoulder.
Holding on to the unconditional love between a mother and her child.
Holding on to the privilege of raising an amazing person.
Holding on to the reality that letting you go
doesn’t mean that I can’t hold on to all of these things

So I can let go, sweet child.
But know I will 𝒂𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 be there holding on.
