Beautiful 💚

This reminds me so much of when my first baby boy was born. The birthing center in our hospital is next to the geriatric care area, so as I was walking with my baby through the hospital halls, I saw several older people. The first thought that hit me was, "One day, my baby boy will be an old man, and I won't even be around anymore..."

Those emotional, hormonal tears rolled right down my face as I thought of everything ahead for that precious, helpless little one who in that moment needed me in order to survive.

Made me tear up 🥲. Mom to a little girl, and a little boy on the way.
