Your Kids Are Looking for You | Kansas City Moms

Mom, I see you…because I am you. You are the one behind the camera, diligently documenting every milestone, every smile, and every precious memory. We carefully preserve these snapshots, knowing that one day, our children will yearn to relive those moments, to feel the love of childhood wash over them. But here's the thing: your babies will also yearn to see YOU in those pictures, to remember the love and tenderness you showered upon them.
One day the babies are going to grow old and dig through a box of old photographs and they’ll push ‘play’ on the childhood videos with eager anticipation. They see their first steps, birthday parties, and family vacations, but do you know what they’ll truly be searching for? Images that capture the essence of YOUR presence, their loved mother—the way you held them, the sound of your voice, and the love that radiated from your eyes. They will long to remember you.
I beg you to take a moment to put down the camera and embrace the opportunity to be fully present with our families. It's easy to get caught up in the desire to capture every moment, fearing that we might forget these fleeting years. But what if, in the process, we forget to be an integral part of the memories themselves? What if we miss out on the chance to be truly seen and remembered by the ones who matter most?
I challenge you to open your phone's camera roll and take a closer look. How many pictures do you find where you are actively engaged in the moment, sharing laughter, and creating joy? You are the source of unconditional love. It's time to ensure that your children have a treasure trove of memories that include you as an integral part of their childhood experiences.
Slow down, dear mama and immerse yourself in the beauty of precious moments. Embrace the chance to be in the frame, to hold your little ones tightly, and to make memories that will last a lifetime. Let your voice be heard, your touch be felt, and your love be remembered.
Embrace imperfections, and let the camera capture the raw and genuine moments. Let your children witness the way you nurtured them, held them, and shaped their world. Be the source of their most cherished memories, the embodiment of love and warmth. Allow yourself to be present in the beautiful tapestry of their lives.
Happy Mother’s Day!
With love and gratitude,
A fellow mom
