My biggest goal as a mom?

 My biggest goal as a mom?

It’s never just been about raising polite kids with good manners and straight As.

It’s about raising adults who feel safe in my presence. Who come back not out of obligation but because something about being near me still feels like home.

I want them to call just because they miss my voice. I want them to sit in my kitchen long after they’ve moved out because the air still holds love. Still smells like cinnamon rolls and safety.

I don’t want them to spend years in therapy trying to unravel the way I loved them. I want them to carry it like a soft blanket they wrap around themselves when the world gets too loud.

I want to be their peace. Not their pain.
Their soft landing. Not their scars.
The one place where they always always feel wanted.

That’s the legacy I’m trying to build
One quiet moment at a time.
