As long as I am living..
I was holding Abbie this morning I said to her something to the effect of I love my baby girl. She replied I am not a baby. I told her, Yes, you are my baby, and will always be my baby. She then said, Even when I am a grownup? I wanted to finish that with As long as I am living, my baby you'll be, but I couldn't as I already felt the tears start to form in my eyes. As I relisten to the conversation in my head, I can't help but to go back to so many conversations about this that my mom and I used to have. Only she'd say, You will be my baby until the day I die. I want my children to know that no matter how old they get, they will always be my babies, even up until the very end, and possibly beyond.
