After an ordinary day of ordinary tasks, my guy was tired.
It was a real day. As real as it gets...
There was homework which led to tears.
And some correcting that led to stair stomping and door slamming.
There was some straight talk that led to a few huffs and even a nod.
There was a hug. There was a kiss.
And there was a promise from a mom to a boy.
It went something like this.
"I will not let you fail. I will help you even when you don't want help. I will cheer you on when you succeed and punish you when you fail.
And no matter what I will love you.
Until you are an old man, I will be here for you helping
you with whatever it is you might need."
There was a smile and a wink.
And then I found this.
It was from my tired guy who has a very bright brain and a very big heart.
And I remembered that this crazy thing we call motherhood is worth
every tear, every stomp, every door slammed and every huff.
Every hug. Every smile.
Every SINGLE wink.
Onward...I go. To help.
