Dear Mother of Only One Child

[Jennifer13]

Letting go is such a tough concept.

Only made easier by remembering the struggle it was to get DD1 out of the house this morning.

so beautiful! and it was so true for me! i fiund parenting my first and at that time only child so tough...when DD2 came along i was amazed how much easier it was to parent both...i guess it was due to so many lessons learnt about myself in those first 3 years with just dd1 and I...

this is the line that got me...

"When I had only one child, she was so heavy. Now I can see that children are as light as air. They float past you, nudging against you like balloons as they ascend."

I feel so incredibly lucky to have my girls to hold in my arms, I also feel really lucky that i have the chance to recognise that this time with them is so fleeting.
