The Days That Will Leave Us — The Natural Parenting Magazine
Some mornings pass without ceremony. Shoes are pulled on, and lunch boxes filled. One of my children calls my name from another room, not urgently, just to be sure I am still here. Later, I will realise there was nothing remarkable about the day at all. And yet, I will also know: this was one of the days that would leave me.
Parenthood sharpens your awareness of time in unexpected ways. Not all at once, and not always in the moments we are told to cherish. It arrives sideways through repetition, through habit, through the small exchanges that make up a day.
This piece forms part of my ongoing published writing on motherhood, presence, and the inner seasons of life.
