⁣

It just means older.⁣

⁣

Because our children will always be our babies.⁣

⁣

They just will.⁣

⁣

We’ll always look at them and see the little squishy baby who would just want to be cradled in our arms for hours sleeping,⁣

or that vulnerable little toddler gazing up at us with wide eyes and chubby cheeks.⁣

⁣

Grown doesn’t mean anything to a mother.⁣

⁣

It doesn’t mean she won’t do everything possible to make their lives easier or to make them smile,⁣

whether it’s making her college-aged child’s favorite chocolate cookies,⁣

or going to the store and buying groceries for her child with small children so she doesn’t have to take everyone out.⁣

⁣

And we’ll always want to know every detail of their day,⁣

and to hear they’re home safe from dinner, a trip, or back from the store.⁣

⁣

And we’ll only continue to love them more with each passing year,⁣
