This might hit deeper than you think
1. The Morning Run
They stop running into your room at sunrise with tiny bare feet and sleepy hugs. Those early morning cuddles are eventually replaced by a closed door and a quiet.
2. The Constant "Dada, Look!"
They stop saying "Dada, look!" a hundred times a day. They no longer rush to show you every rock, every drawing, or every random thought. The world becomes quieter, and their lives become more private.
3. The Public Hand-Hold
They stop holding your hand in public. One day, you reach out and your hand is just empty—not because they don't love you, but because they are learning to be independent.
4. The Living Jungle Gym
They stop climbing all over you. There will be a final day when they don't use your lap as a seat or your back as a ladder. Your body will feel lighter, but your heart will feel the emptiness.
5.The Band-Aid Kiss
They stop believing your kiss is the only medicine. Eventually, the "Daddy, make it better" turns into them fixing their own scratches.
6.The Heavy Shoulder
They stop falling asleep on your chest. The heavy head on your shoulder, the slow breathing, and that feeling of being their "safe place" slowly fades away as they grow too big for your lap.
7. The "One More" Story
They stop asking for "just one more" bedtime story. The long negotiations for five more minutes and three more hugs slowly turn into a quick "Goodnight" from the hallway.
8. The Last Lift
This is the one that breaks your heart: One day, you will pick them up, hold them close, and set them down. And you will never pick them up again. You won't know it's the last time; you'll just put them on their feet, and they will stay there.
9. The Shared Secret
They stop telling you every single thing they think and feel. They begin to have a world of their own.
You are no longer the owner of all their secrets; you are just the one waiting for them to share a small piece
