A Memory of a Picture My Eldest Created Years Ago

This Was a Memory of a Picture My Eldest Created Years Ago in Primary School.

I saw it today and immediately felt all kinds of emotions, from joy and love to fear and sadness too.

Children grow up and although they may no longer create lovely pictures like this- that former mean they don’t love you or care about you.

Their needs from you may have changed and they are developing into independent beings.

I am grateful to all my children - they are the best teachers in the world to me.

However my role as a mother is to continue supporting them , teaching them and being their for them no matter what.

It’s not easy, it can feel lonely at times.

But at the end of the day nothing has brought me more fear, joy and love than my children and each part of the journey is creating lots of mistakes to learned and improved whatever the situation xxx

Huge love
