A friend of mine posted this on facebook this morning, and it hit a serious chord in my heart, so I felt the need to translate it. It's so obvious, but so hard to forget during the day-to-day...
RESPIRA... Sarai madre per tutta la vita.
Digli quanto GLI VUOI BENE ogni volta che lo pensi. Lasciagli immaginare, e immagina con lui. Non lasciarlo piangere, piangi con lui. Le pareti si possono ridipingere, gli oggetti si rompono e si sostituiscono continuamente: le urla della mamma FANNO MALE PER SEMPRE.
Puoi lavare i piatti più tardi, mentre tu pulisci...lui cresce. Lui non ha bisogno di troppi giocattoli. Lavora di meno e ama di più, e soprattutto, RESPIRA.
Sarai madre per tutta la vita....Lui sarà bambino solo una volta.
BREATHE...You are going to be a mother your whole life.
Teach
them the important things, the REAL things: jumping in puddles,
observing animals, giving butterfly kisses and teddy bear hugs. Never
forget those hugs and NEVER withhold them:
it may be that, in a few years, the hugs you'll miss will be those very ones you didn't give.
it may be that, in a few years, the hugs you'll miss will be those very ones you didn't give.
Tell
them HOW MUCH YOU LOVE THEM every time you think it. Let them dream,
and dream with them. Don't let them cry, cry with them. The walls can be
repainted, objects break and are continuously replaceable: Mommy's
yelling CAN HURT FOREVER.
You
can wash the dishes later...while you're cleaning, they're growing.
They don't need a lot of toys. Work less and love more and, above all,
BREATHE.
