The Little Women

When he outgrew my hand That’s when he’ll embark  on  his  own journey,  writing his own story. He’ll make friends, formed memories, Seek adventures, found love. Baby will no longer be the  helpless  infant  laying on his mother’s hand. My sweet, sweet darling. Please grow well and healthy, Be happy & be proud. Be proud of yourself  of  anything you’ve become, Be proud of yourself of  anything you  went through. Because we love you just the same, dear. We love you just the same.

Ask the mother How’s she doing, how she feels; Did she feel heard, seen, visible, or none of the above. Ask her is she okay or not okay, Tired or not tired, sleepless,  restless, or else. We often feel overwhelmed and clueless at times, you know. The urge to be strong for the baby & the family is so high  ‘till we forget how  to be weak & vulnerable ourselves. And that is when we need the utmost  support of everyone surrounding us. From our spouses, our family, our friends.  So please, Ask the mother How’s she doing.
