Never Forget

Never forget to hold your head high and keep moving forward even when your spirit is low.

Never forget to stop and smell the flowers along the path and appreciate all the beauty life offers.

Never forget that being kind to others is always the right choice to make in any given situation.

And never, ever forget that you have a mother who loves you more than anything else in the whole wide world.

Things I Never Told You

I never told you how scared I was to take you home from the hospital after you were born. 

You looked up at me with absolute trust that I knew what I was doing.

But I was terrified I wouldn't do anything right.

I never told you that I cried when you started school.

That I cried when other kids treated you unkindly.

That I cried pretty much anytime you did when your heart was broken.

I never told you that being your mother has been my life's greatest gift.

That you are all I ever wished for and dreamt of.

That I could not be prouder of who you have become.

That I will be in your corner forever and always.
