It’s Worth It

It’s worth it.

The time you give to laundry, cooking, and diaper changing.

The time you spend reading books, kissing foreheads, and brushing teeth.

The time you lose at night with midnight feedings and then with worry and prayer. 

The time you sacrifice to go to ballgames, doctors appointments, and birthday parties.

The time you allow to pass as you watch your sweet babies undoubtedly grow up before your very eyes.

The time that seems so long and yet, in the end, is so very short…

It’s worth it.  It’s all worth it.

Mammas, you are seen.  You are remembered.  You are so loved even when no one thinks to say it.

Thank you for raising your littles. Thank you for doing your best in the mom game. Thank you for investing your time when it seems as though you have not one more second or drip of energy to give.

After all, “Your greatest accomplishment may not be something you do, but someone you raise.” 

It’s all worth it.
