Every single day for as long as I remember, Emily has given me a kiss before we part ways and greeted me as if we hadn’t seen each other in weeks every time we are reunited.

We say “I love you” multiple times a day in both French and English.

She asks me “do you know how much I love you?” Than we try to always find something bigger.

I am a spoiled mom.

As she is now a teenager, I was expecting this change in attitude where she would suddenly be too old for love and kisses.

Well… I am truly spoiled as I get hugs, kisses and I love you still. She is not worried about being seen with us and couldn’t care less about showing us affection in public.

The day started a little bumpy today so I’m gonna hold on to this knowledge that although from time to time I have moments where I think that her constant challenges are a pain in the a**, that life is stressful and so on… I am blessed with a husband a child who love me. A Lot, big like an elephant 😉
