I HOPE SHE KNOWS

 how hard I try to be a good mom.

 

I hope she knows that my anger and frustration never diminish my love for her.

I hope she knows I don’t want her to strive for perfection; I want her to strive to do her best.

 

I hope she knows how much joy she brings me ๐‘’๐‘Ž๐‘โ„Ž ๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘‘ ๐‘’๐‘ฃ๐‘’๐‘Ÿ๐‘ฆ ๐‘‘๐‘Ž๐‘ฆ.

I hope she knows that her laugh lights up my life.

 

I hope she knows that I will support her no matter her choices, and no matter where life takes her.

 

I hope she knows that she is always worthy, just as she is.

 

I hope she knows that labels, grades, numbers on a scale, and other people’s opinions ๐‘‘๐‘œ ๐‘›๐‘œ๐‘ก ๐‘‘๐‘’๐‘“๐‘–๐‘›๐‘’ โ„Ž๐‘’๐‘Ÿ.

 

I hope she knows that the most important relationship she’ll ever have is with herself.

I hope she knows to do what is right and not what is easy.

I hope she knows that it is a privilege to watch her grow, even though it also breaks my heart.

 

I hope she knows that she is capable, and that ๐‘กโ„Ž๐‘’ ๐‘ ๐‘˜๐‘ฆ ๐‘–๐‘  ๐‘กโ„Ž๐‘’ ๐‘™๐‘–๐‘š๐‘–๐‘ก ๐‘“๐‘œ๐‘Ÿ โ„Ž๐‘’๐‘Ÿ.

 

I hope she knows that every pain, tear, and heartbreak she experiences I feel a thousandfold.

 

I hope she knows that she is loved beyond measure and beyond words.

 

I hope she knows that I will never get it all right, ๐‘๐‘ข๐‘ก ๐ผ ๐‘ค๐‘–๐‘™๐‘™ ๐‘Ž๐‘™๐‘ค๐‘Ž๐‘ฆ๐‘  ๐‘˜๐‘’๐‘’๐‘ ๐‘ก๐‘Ÿ๐‘ฆ๐‘–๐‘›๐‘”.

I hope she knows.

 

Even though I tell her…
