Mother's Day Letter to My Kids

As I sit down to write this Mother's Day blog, my heart is overflowing with love and gratitude. Being a mom has been one of the most incredible experiences of my life, and I feel so lucky to have the three amazing kids that I do.

As my girls get older, I'm constantly amazed by how they are growing and changing. It's incredible to see them become their own unique individuals, with their own interests and passions. And as they change, my role as a mother changes too. I'm constantly adapting to their needs and finding new ways to support and encourage them.

But as much as I love watching my girls grow up, there's still a part of me that longs for the simplicity of their early childhood years. There was something so pure and easy about the love we had for each other back then. Exploring the world together and sharing so many special moments, I can’t wait for the years ahead, but sometimes I long for the years gone by…

Now, as my youngest kid grows older, I'm starting to feel the weight of time passing. Soon I won't have a little kid at home anymore, and that makes me both happy and sad. Happy because I'm excited to see her continue to grow and flourish, but sad because I'll miss those sweet moments of childhood that we shared.

To my son Lev. Oh, Lev. He's such a cuddly little guy, and he still loves to kiss and hug me all the time. I know that won't last forever, and so I'm trying to soak up every single moment of it while I can.

But no matter how old my kids get; one thing remains constant: the unconditional love that we share. Even when I embarrass them by singing in the car or dancing at school pick up (which I totally do), they know that I love them with my whole heart. And that's what Mother's Day is all about, isn't it? Spreading that unconditional love to our kids, no matter what.

So to all the moms out there, I want to wish you a very happy Mother's Day. Whether your kids are young or old, whether you're a first-time mom or a seasoned pro, know that you are loved and appreciated. And to my own kids: thank you for filling my life with so much love and joy. You are my greatest gift, and I love you more than words could ever express.
