Happy National Daughters Day to my Kaylee girl. 🎀💕 My pretty girl, my little bestie, my baby girl, and the daughter who gave me a whole new version of motherhood.
Before you, I knew the love of being a mommy through your brothers. They made me a mama and filled parts of my heart that will forever belong to them. And then came YOU. 🥹💗
My girl.
There was something so surreal about realizing I had a daughter. Like… wait, I really get to raise a little girl?! I get to buy the bows, do the cute outfits, have the mommy-and-daughter days, watch you find your own style, hear all your little stories, and hopefully one day be the person you call when you need to talk about absolutely everything and nothing.
But what I didn’t realize was that having you would be about so much more than finally getting to do the “girl” things.
It’s getting to watch pieces of myself show up in you while also watching you become completely your own person. It’s looking at your little face and wondering who you’ll be someday. What you’ll love. What you’ll dream about. What will make you laugh until your stomach hurts. Who you’ll become when the world starts asking you to figure yourself out.
And through ALL of it, I hope you always know exactly where home is.
With me. ❤️
I hope when life is beautiful, you call me because you can’t wait to tell me. I hope when life hurts, you know you never have to pretend you’re okay with me. I hope when you make mistakes, you know my arms are still open. I hope when you’re grown with a whole life of your own, there’s still a part of you that thinks, “I need my mama.” 🥹
Right now, you’re still my little girl. I can hold you, kiss that sweet face, hear that little voice call me Mommy, and watch you reach for me when you need comfort. I know these days can feel long while I’m living them, but I also know they’re going to become the days I would give anything to have back for five minutes.
So I’m holding on a little tighter.
Because one day the bows will be gone. Your little hand won’t fit inside mine anymore. You’ll walk out the door without needing me to help you, and I’ll wonder how my baby girl grew up so fast.
But Kaylee, there is one thing that will NEVER change:
You will always be my girl. 🎀
No matter how big you get, how far you go, or what life brings your way, there will always be a place beside me that belongs to you. And as long as I’m here, you will have a Mommy who loves you fiercely, prays over you, protects your heart, cheers ridiculously loud for you, and reminds you exactly who you are whenever you forget.
I waited my whole motherhood journey to know what it felt like to say, “That’s my daughter.”
And baby girl… I am SO proud that it’s you. 🥹💗
Happy National Daughters Day to Mommy’s pretty girl, Kaylee. 🎀👑💕
I love you more than you’ll understand until maybe one day, you’re holding a little girl of your own.
🎀💕
