Many years later its has come back to me in force.
My youngest is 26 and is married and has her life as an adult. We still remain close and I think I can say I am close to both my children. My oldest is nearly 31 and I think we have a good relationship and I think I did a good job with them both.
So this past weekend my youngest had to have an operation and it was so hard for me. I tried to be upbeat for her as I knew she was nervous.
As they wheeled her off I told the porter to look after her or I would hunt him down! He thought I was just having fun, but boy did i mean it lol.
She came through fine and I went straight back to when she was small, rubbing her back and brushing her hair off her face.
My mothers words "You will always be my baby" came right back.
I think no matter how old your children are they will always be your baby. Children grow so fast and we spend so much time in the day to day stuff, we don't see the time slipping away from us.
So enjoy your children and all those special little things you do with them and that they say.
I am still enjoying mine and I love them totally more so than ever. Just remember
"You will always be my babies"
That is so beautiful and so true!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Carla mums words were so true xx
ReplyDeleteOh, what a sweet post. Of course, they're always our babies. My mom said the same thing. It doesn't matter how old you get, we still worry about you and love you and want you to be safe. So glad your daughter is doing well. And, yes, the mama bear comes out in us durig those times!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mary I really love my kids more and more if that's possible. And you are so right all those years of being mama bear you slip back into it with ease lol
DeleteMore true words were never spoken. Isn't it funny how we don't relate until we have our own children and then we realize the way something's never change? You are an awesome Mom Jill!

DeleteI once read a newspaper article where it said 'you'll never get to your death bed and think, gosh, I spent too much time with my kids'. True, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteWe home educate our children, so I'm lucky enough to spend lots of time with them.
Glad you are still enjoying spending time with your grown up children.
