I never realized

 I never realized how much I needed her until she was in my arms

She came into my world with the tiniest hands and the biggest kind of love

My daughter didn’t just make me a mom
She made me feel whole in a way I didn’t even know I was missing

She looks at me like I hung the stars
She hugs me like her little arms can fix any hard day
She laughs like the world hasn’t hurt her yet and it reminds me to soften

With her, I get to heal
I get to show up as the mom I always wished I had
I get to be loved without needing to be perfect

She’s not just my daughter
She’s my safest place
My reminder to slow down
My unexpected best friend

I didn’t know I needed her
But now I couldn’t imagine life without her
