It's the small moments when relationships blossom.
Nothing else matters for me but being present--
physically and emotionally for these
miniature people that rely so heavily on me.
I don't ever want to be the mother that assumes
my children know how I feel about them.
I have to tell them. I'm compelled to.
Because one day, they just might not be around to hear.
No regrets.
When I stand over my dead brother's headstone,
I have no regrets.
The love we had for each other was not just implied,
but consistently declared.
There was nothing I felt for him, he didn't know.
Nothing he felt for me that was left unspoken.
There was never a moment's doubt in any situation.
He had my back, and I had his;
until the day came when he simply didn't.
So, I'm going to tell my family how much I love them today,
knowing today is all I'm really guaranteed.
No regrets.
