This is so my house! Too many to name, but you know who you are! And, if I have yelled at you are considered FAMILY! ❤️❤️❤️
To the parents of my children’s friends…
Fair Warning
If you’ve ever sent your kid to my house
If they’ve dropped their bikes in my front yard
If they’ve flung their shoes by my doorstep
If they’ve eaten all the snacks in my cabinet
If they’ve emptied my fridge of cold water
If I’ve driven them to practice or long-distance games
If they’ve settled themselves on our couch
And left an indent in our cushions
If your kid has ever made our house
their temporary home
I really need you to understand the repercussions
Get ready…
Because I’m not one who’s quick to forget.
In the years to come
I’m going to remember to love them
With a fierceness as if they were my own.
I’m going to pull them in close
And tell them how proud I am
I’m going to gush to people,
Perfect strangers,
About their accomplishments.
I’m going to show up,
even in games my kid isn’t playing
To cheer them on.
I’m going to root for them in their wins
And hold grace when they struggle.
I’m going to love them
Whole-heartedly.
So please don’t take my open-door policy lightly.
Because it comes with a heavy dose
of unconditional love.
Today & Always ♥️
