As a mom, I sometimes question myself and wonder about the job that I’m doing in this role. Does my mini me understand me? Does she respect my choices? Is she happy with me as her momma? There was a point when these thoughts regularly plagued my mind; especially when it was just mini me and I. I sometimes had to make sacrifices in order to run our household that I know made her sad. And I would be super hard on myself but had few options. However, one of the biggest blessings came when my daughter was old enough to communicate her feelings and mature enough to understand our reality. Even then I worried a little but I was always comforted when I would hear my daughter speak about me to others; or when I would read things she wrote about me. Recently she came to me with a poem she wrote for me and her words confirmed that she indeed gets it all.
And she wrote:
Mom To Me
By: A’Bree Inez
You held me when I was just so small
All I could hear was your little call
All I could feel was your little touch
This is why you’ll always mean so much
You’re the resource I will always need
You’re like a flower that stared with a little seed
I feel sad when you’re not there
So I think about you everywhere
I’m happy that I’m your mini me
I’m happy that you are mom to me
Xoxo,
A’Bree Inez
I’ll be sure to share more gems like this one from my little one in the future. Until then…
Xoxo,
Millennial Mom
