It's been a while since I heard my daughter call me her "best friend." She's only four, but it's a small win for me as I navigate the challenges of parenting and strive to build that unbreakable bond with her.
I've been trying extra hard lately to make time for her, even with my busy work schedule. So today, hearing her sweetly murmur, "Mama, you're my best friend," as she nestled into my side, made my whole week!
I'm going to cherish this moment and celebrate the simple joy of being her trusted companion. Maybe later tonight, after she's off to bed, I'll pour myself a glass of wine and indulge in some me-time to mark this little victory. That, or I might just fall asleep from exhaustion - parenting is a tiring yet fulfilling job!
