To my kids

 To my kids,

I hope you know that every ounce of strength I have, especially on the hardest days, comes from you.

When I feel like breaking down, I think of your laughter.
When the world feels too heavy, I remember the way your little arms wrap around me.
When I feel like I’m not enough, I look into your eyes and see the way you look at me like I’m your whole world.

You are my reason.
You are my reminder.
You are my strength.

Even when I feel like I have nothing left, I still have you. And that gives me everything I need to keep going.
