Having a daughter

 Having a daughter has shown me just how much life comes full circle.

When she was little, she clung to me like I was her entire world. Now she’s growing, finding her own voice, testing her independence. And I know one day she will be grown, standing fully on her own two feet.

Through every stage, the bond between us shifts into something new. Some days it is messy. Some days it is hard. But then there are moments like laughing together until our stomachs hurt or those late-night talks where she opens her heart that remind me how lucky I am to be her mom.

Watching her grow is watching a piece of me grow too. No matter how old she gets, I will always see the little girl who once reached for my hand. And I will always be grateful that she chose me to be her mom.
