SORRY, MY FIRSTBORN… 🥲
I’m sorry for the moments
when you said, “Mom, look!”
and I answered with
“Just a second…”
while my hands were busy
and my mind was somewhere else.
I’m sorry for the times
when you waited patiently beside me
while I cared for your little sibling,
even though your heart
was still hoping for the same attention
you once had all to yourself.
I’m sorry if there were days
when you wondered
if things had changed…
if maybe you weren’t
my whole world anymore.
But my sweet first baby,
please know this truth.
You are the one
who made me a mother.
You were the tiny person
who first placed that title in my heart.
Before you,
I had never known
what it felt like
to love someone this deeply.
You were my first sleepless nights,
my first lullabies,
my first little hand wrapped around my finger.
You were the beginning
of the greatest love story of my life.
No other child could ever take your place,
because your place
was never meant to be replaced.
It only grew.
My heart didn’t divide
when your siblings arrived
it expanded.
And no matter how many years pass,
no matter how many children fill this house with laughter,
you will always be
the one who first taught me
what it means
to love like a mother. 🤍
