One day

 One day, your baby will reach out and grab your finger for the very first time.

One day, your baby will let go without needing it anymore.

One day, you'll hear their first laugh. The kind that makes your whole world stop.
One day, you’ll realize you haven’t heard it in a while, because they’ve grown up and moved on to new kinds of joy.

Both moments will take your breath away.
Both will make your heart ache in the most beautiful way.

No one tells you how often motherhood is a goodbye wrapped inside a beginning.
Hold them close. Soak it in.
Because one day, all these tiny moments become memories you’d give anything to relive.
