Woke Emma up this morning with kisses.
“Mom, why do you have to kiss me so much?”she asked me, her arms wrapped around my neck, our cheeks pressed together.
“I guess just cause I love you so much”
“I love you too mom.”
And later, when I drop her off at daycare… She goes to the window like every morning and waves and blows me kisses. That kind of thing I can live off of.
I remember how things felt 2 years ago when she was the only thing in my life I was certain of. I didn’t know where we were going, but I knew we’d be okay, she and I. I’d put on Keith Urban’s song “Better Life” and we’d dance around crazy.
I like how life feels right now.

I never knew I was capable of loving a human being so much until I had my children. It’s a whole new level of love. It’s the Hollywood give your life for another human being stereotypical kind of love thing. Sometimes it can be overwhelming.
