I was looking at you today and this overwhelming since of protection came over me. I want to protect you from all the hurts in the world. From heartbreak, sadness, disappointment, and injustice. But the truth is - I can't. You'll feel these things somewhere along the way, and I know when they happen to you, I'll hurt too. I'll get mad, but mostly I'll be sad I couldn't protect you from it. Because I believe at our core that's all mothers want - to protect their kids, and for them to know they are loved. And oh man do we love. It's a love that reaches to the bottom of your heart. It's different then any other kind of love. We love our parents, and I certainly love your dad, but the love I have for you, well it's just different. Unconditional. I will always love you. You may disappoint me at some point, and I may get mad at you, but I will always love you. You are a part of me. And a huge part of my heart. So when you don't make the team, or the girl breaks your heart, or you experience loss for the first time, I'll be there. I'll let you cry to me, or be alone, or do whatever it is you need me to do to help you through it. I promise you I will always be there for you. Always. No matter what happens, you always have that.
