I caught myself scrolling through our memories today
I caught myself scrolling through our memories today
Photo after photo of their beautiful little livesFirst steps
Messy faces
Blowing out birthday candles
Snuggled up with books at bedtime
But where am I?
I was there for all of it
Every single moment
But I’m not in the pictures
Because I was the one taking them
I was the one making sure they had clean clothes
Packing the snacks
Wiping the tears
Creating the memories
While quietly staying out of view
And it hit me
I’ve become a ghost in my own story
Always present
Always giving
Always loving from behind the scenes
Not because I wasn’t important
But because I was too busy making sure everyone else felt important
So to the moms who feel forgotten
Who feel like they’re missing from the memories
You’re not
You’re woven into every moment
You’re the reason those memories exist
But you deserve to be seen too
So hand the camera over
Get in the picture
Let yourself be remembered
Because you matter in this story too.
