Making memories with your daughter

"A mother holds her children's hands for a while, but their hearts forever" - Author Unknown

My daughter is 7 years old now, and one thing i have learned over the years is that making memories doesnt need to cost a lot of money. They are so many moments in time, locked in my heart to hold on forever. 

Dear Lily, 

My sweet baby girl, i cant believe your kindergarten year is over. Everyone told me it would go quickly and of course they were right. You survived 3 years of preschool, new friends, new school, new routine and you did it all in stride. Your mom survived too ! Haha although i think you handled it better than i did.

Do you remember the first day when we walked hand in hand into your school building? I was so nervous for you and i think you were a little scared, although you did a good job hiding those jitters. I didnt. My tears hit the moment i let go of your hand.   Im sure i will cry at each new milestone you reach. You'll just have to roll your eyes at me because i cant help myself. 

I loved your school and all the school project that you did at your school, and i love to joined your project too. I remembered, you were so proud to have me sit next to you and lovingly introduced me to your friends. I wonder how long you will let that be. Can we never let it end? 

You have learned so much, my hearts swells with pride when i hear you read next chapter book or try so hard to write sentences without asking for help. You're so smart girl lily. 

Im little sad. Not because you are growing up thats natural and wonderful and expected but because the older you get, the closer goodbye becomes.  Someday you will leave to make your own dreams and discover your own adventures.

Lily, my darling you will always be wonderful, you will always be brave, you will always be beautiful, you will always be intelligent, you will always be strong, you will always be kind, you will always be perfect in my eyes. Mommy is so proud of you Lily, now and forever, and im so excited to watch you grow day by day. 

Love always and forever.

Mommy
