“Don’t make a habit of always carrying them, or you’ll struggle later on.”
But my life has never really been easy anyway...so if I’m going to carry something, let it be the choice to hold you a little longer whenever you need me.
The world is already overwhelming for adults, and even more so for babies who don’t yet understand it. If my arms can be your comfort, your safety, your home for now, then that’s a struggle I’m willing to embrace. One day you’ll grow, you’ll walk on your own, and you won’t need to be carried anymore but until then, I’ll hold you close for as long as you ask or want me to.
