I once read a quote that said, “Motherhood is watching your heart live outside your chest, quietly praying the world will be kind to it”…
Today, as I watched my beautiful boy walk through the school gates on his very first day and wave goodbye to me, those words couldn’t have felt more true. To say it felt like a little piece of me was missing today would be an understatement. But, just as I knew he would, he absolutely smashed it, and I couldn’t feel any prouder.
We took these photos yesterday as a little reminder of this precious, fleeting time, when he still feels like my little boy. I know how much he’s going to grow, change and blossom now that school has begun, and as excited as I am for everything that lies ahead for him, I’d be lying if I said my heart wasn’t aching a little too.
Rupert, you have my whole heart, always. Watching you take this big step today has made me prouder than words can say. Forever proud of you, our darling boy🤎
