goodnight bed tucks and bedtime stories
hugs and kisses, cuddles and snuggles
boo-boo kisses and wiped noses
home-cooked meals
Best kept secrets, good advice
drying tears, shared giggles
I love you's
An ear to listen, reassurances
a shoulder to cry on, a lap to sit on
a ride to school, a lift to the movies
holiday presents, birthday parties
homemade birthday cakes
multi-tasking, working, moving
forgiveness for stupid mistakes
unconditional love
You can do anything.
You are so smart.
I'm so proud of you.
You'll understand one day
when you are a mother.
Now, I understand.
