My heart walking around outside my body

Parenting is hard

There is a never a time when you can say

My job is over

From here on out: smooth sailing

Never

Because I imagine

That their trials and tribulations

Are always also partly yours

No matter what their age

Not because you directly bear any cause to them (one hopes)

But because you deeply care that they are suffering them

It's like that for me now 

And I just don't ever foresee that being different. 

It's like I tell them

Even one day when you're carrying me around, or pushing me around in a stroller (wheelchair; knock on wood)

You'll still be my babies
