Wishing You Nothing But Happy

Wishing You Nothing But Happy

Wishing You Nothing But Happy, I know my time with you is limited now as you get ready to leave for school. I know you will be on your way. It’s okay, I understand, because it’s the natural order of things, but it doesn’t make it any easier for me. I wish you nothing but happy of course.

When I am home and missing you, I wish you nothing but happy. When I walk past your room and see that you are not here, I wish you nothing but happy. When you call to tell me all the things you have been up to, I wish you nothing but happy.

I will always wish you nothing but happy, but, I also wish and long for the days that you used to be here, home with me, and not there making your own way. I know this is a “me problem” and not a “you problem”. This is your time to make your way in this world, for you to make your mark. So, I wish you nothing but happy as you do it. Just remember that I am always here, whenever you need me, always wishing you nothing but happy of course!

xoxo, Mommy
