I want to love my kids so fiercely

 I want to love my kids so fiercely and so fully that it becomes their standard. I want it to pour into them so heavy that when someone tries to give them anything less they’ll feel it right away deep in their gut.

I want them to know exactly what softness feels like what it’s like to be chosen every day what it’s like to be spoken to with patience and held with care. So when the world tries to hand them scraps of love or people show up with their bare minimum energy they’ll know that’s not it.

Because they’ve tasted something real at home. They’ll never settle for being an afterthought. They’ll never beg to be understood. They’ll just quietly walk away knowing they deserve so much more.

That’s the kind of love I’m building here. The kind that becomes their compass for the rest of their lives.
