A Mama's Heart is Always With Her Children

Every time a mama watches her child walk away, she feels a piece of her heart walk away too; and wherever a mama's babies go,

a piece of her heart goes with them.


Sometimes, a baby needs her mama's heart to stay a little closer--especially when their hearts can't be together.


For four years, a very special little girl and I have been sharing a tradition together.

We named it "heart-to-heart".


And on those days, when she needs the extra-special reminder that my mama-heart will be with her wherever she goes, we draw the hearts--one on each of our wrists.

Some days, two.


Whatever she needs, I make sure she gets--

whatever it takes to ease her whirling mind and heavy heart--so she knows just how much I love her--no matter the distance apart.


Last week, she needed that heart more than ever. Summer ended, school started, and our almost year-and-a-half within hugging distance, had come to an end.


But, after 16 months together, home as a family, and seeing her sisters needing that extra love too, she decided to let them each join in on our little secret.


One-by-one, and wrist-by-wrist, we drew the hearts. Sometimes, different colors. Sometimes, someone gets two, or a little being's heart might be just a smidgen bigger than her sisters'.


But, as simple an act as it is, it leaves us with such a simply beautiful reminder throughout the day--a piece of a mama's heart goes with her babies wherever they go, and she will always hold her children's hearts as close as she possibly can.


For only God...only God could create a love so selfless, protective and whole than that of a mother's--a pure reflection of the exact same kind of love provided by her Heavenly Father Above.
