You Are My Reason
You are the reason I get up each morning.
Even when my eyelids feel heavier than a five-ton truck.
Even when all I want is a quiet morning, a strong coffee, and breakfast in bed.
You are more important.
You need me.
For you, I would do anything, no matter how tired I feel.
You are the reason I am finally comfortable in my own skin.
Even though my body has changed, even though I am a size bigger than I once was.
Even though my breasts can no longer be described as “perky.”
You relied on me. You gave my body a purpose beyond myself.
For you, I have learned to love every curve, every imperfection, every change.
You are the reason I am no longer selfish.
Even though I sometimes grumble that I rarely buy things for myself anymore.
Even though I get frustrated when I can’t find a moment of peace.
You have taught me that life is no longer just about me.
Your needs come first, and for you, I am happy to step back.
You are the reason I now understand the power of patience.
Even though I sometimes long for the fast-paced life I once had.
Even though I still feel the sting of frustration when things don’t happen quickly.
You need me to slow down, to meet the world at your pace.
You are my priority, and for you, I am learning to pause, breathe, and move gently.
You are the reason I have gained perspective.
Even though I no longer make the money I once did.
Even though my work no longer challenges me the way it used to.
You are more important. You need me.
For you, I have learned that a career can wait, but your childhood, your growth, your love—cannot.
You are the reason I worry more than ever.
Even though I know worrying changes nothing.
Even though it’s not your fault.
You are precious. You are fragile. You are my most treasured responsibility.
For you, I will carry the weight of worry forever, because it comes from love.
You are the reason my heart is now filled with gratitude.
Even though I sometimes feel disappointed when life doesn’t go my way.
Even though I occasionally forget how lucky I am.
You are the constant reminder that I am blessed beyond measure.
You are the light that guides me through the darkest tunnels.
For you, every challenge, every sleepless night, every sacrifice is worth it.
You are the reason my heart feels so full.
Even though I love your father more than words can capture.
Even though I am deeply grateful for the life we shared before you.
You have shown me a love that is unlike any other, pure and all-consuming.
You are remarkable, extraordinary, irreplaceable.
For you, my heart doesn’t just beat—it overflows.
You are my reason.
Always.
