i am mom

koley, lane, abbie & brody

i am the wiper of their noses
i zipper their jackets
i tie their shoes
i am the brusher of their hair
i wipe their faces
i paint their nails
i am the spelling word list study helper
i am the washer of their clothes
i am the picker up that follows after them and picks up
i am their personal chef
i am their entertainment
it's my heart that breaks when they are sad or sick
it is my job to make them well, to build them up

why can't i help koley? why can't i make him better?
i am mom.
the hardest job on the planet.

You are helping him and, not only are you helping him, but you are sacrificing for him as well. You are an amazing mother. He knows that and loves you for it.
