I periodically come back to watch this video - usually when I've told someone about it and then dig it out to send it. Gets me in the feels every time.
I am the same way!!! 💯💕
@@aubreyg8067 Aw! And my daughter is called Aubrey! 💖
@@amydaynes That is so perfect!! 🥰
Same same same
Me too!!!
As a father who has been running around the internet trying to diagnose why his first-born son's impending first birthday brought him such sorrow, I was directed to this video. The essay--and Amanda's reaction--reflect my emotions in a way that I have been unable to define until now. I just put him to bed knowing that tomorrow he will wake up and no longer be *a* baby, even if he'll always be *my* baby. And even though I know he'll be there in the morning with the same rosy cheeks and enormous smile, and even though I have so much to be happy about as he grows up, I still feel as though I said goodbye for the last time to a person I love infinitely. And that makes me profoundly sad.
I watch this almost once a month and cry, my oldest son is now 20 and in love and not so much time for mom anymore. I love it and I hate it, such a sad beautiful life a mom has..
This never gets old.
Every time I watch this I cry 😢 and I could watch it over and over it is so very true 💙
This is exactly what l am going through as l feel her pain my son who is the one person who has always been so special to after a terrible
Accident when he was only 6 months old,l nearly lost him but helping him through all his brain injuries ha has
beat all those difficulties
to grow & be the most
kind&loving son & husband ,he will make such a great Dad.
He has made me so proud to be his mother.
He is my Hero.
“No longer the sun around which they orbit” - one son in the military and the other two leaving this fall…what is my purpose now?
You’re a great mom, and L, D & T love you very much! You have tremendous purpose still and always!
They still need you when they are sick if you are close enough, or when they start seriously thinking of getting married and THEN when they have children. If yours are anything like mine, they all said individually to me, after each one had their first child, "thank you mom for all that you did when I was a baby and growing up." They appreciate you but when their own babies come along, that's when they KNOW what it takes. And then there is the baby sitting but in the meantime there is so much fun to be had getting to know yourself as a woman in this world. God bless your journey to GLAMMA hood and beyond.
The absolute truth I cry alone sometimes. To the special grief of having a little boy suddenly being a man. No one told me the hardest part of being a Mom is when your kid are adults. 😭😭😭😭
I am reading all these comments and I am crying and smiling at the same time. A mothers love is so beautiful and I feel everyone one of. My son as a Tenn stopped hugging me and actually acted like he could stand me. It broke my heart. One day a older man in the neighborhood saw his attitude towards me and he said” I promise u and please believe me, when he grows up he will adore u and protect u and love u so much” guess what ? He loves me so much and literally has so much protection over me it’s overwhelming. I love him so deeply that it hurts thinking about it. Daughters are great too and I love mine but they seem to hurt my feeling alot where Vince my son would never and he thinks I hung the moon. I try so hard to take care of myself and live as long as I can because my son said mom I never want to lose u. Oh god I’m bawling😢😢 send me a pic of your sons. I will post mine.
Makes me cry. Every time. I have 3 sons. This is the truth.
I have 2 boys and 2 daughters and I love them all . But them boys exsoecially my oldest loves and protects me like u wouldn’t believe and what’s crazy I thought he would forever hate me when he was a teen. Something about them boys.
I rewatch this women speak on the piece like once a year just to hurt myself all over again. Exquisite pain indeed 😭❤️
Me too. Lol
This is so beautiful! And I cry every time I hear it. My daughter just graduated and my heart has been breaking about it. This was everything I feel about it. 😭❤️❤️💔
What a blessing to be a mother. Hard and euphoric... years of that cycle repeating itself. And then they leave home....
As a Dad of two girls this hit home. Wow I had to hold back the tears. #mygirlsareneverleaving
Let em flow
They will always be your little girls...even when they're grown women. Strength, brother. #FellowGirlDad
And this is why watch old home videos rips me to pieces. It’s like where is that boy and I can’t take watching them
I’m bawling! My oldest will be 21 in August and my “baby” will be 17 in July. Time is a cruel bitch mother.
I have yet to get through this without bawling. And I’ve heard it numerous times.
I have three exceptional sons, all different, all so wonderful. My oldest is getting married in two months and my youngest two, 18 and 22 just moved out together last month. This video spoke to my heart! Made me cry - I watched it twice and released so much pent up emotion! Thank you. I just sent it to all three of my boys so that they may further understand what this is like for the Mama. They’re such loves - I know they will get it! ✨♥️♥️♥️✨
This is beautiful. Bless you and your wonderful sons.
@@amydaynes thank you sweetheart. May God bless you and your loved ones every day with the love only He can provide. 🦁♥️✨✨
I love this so much. Sums up how I feel about my son and daughter.
I have three sons, all adults now, and this is bittersweet and heartbreaking all at the same time. 😢💙💙💙
Amanda you read this perfectly! It’s what all the mothers are feeling!!
This is so true. Even when you're a step parent.
You are the best
I am a mum to a 2 year old daughter and watching her grow is bitter sweet. Nobody warns you that this was the last time you’d held them, fed them or stroked their curls.
❤️
Cried again tonight watching it, she nailed it
I left home to join the navy when i was 18. Which meant moving interstate, not down the road from my parents. My dad cried as i was getting on the plane, I'd never seen him cry, i sort of didn't understand why. Now i have 2 children, one just turned 14 and the other 12. The thought of them leaving home, kills me. Especially after watching this and listening to Mia. Its so true.. thanks for this
Thank you for your wonderful conversation last night mate. I apologize for interrupting your meal with your friend. Also, i do sometimes use woofy to initiate a conversation. I've read a lot of your articles and of course I knew who you were. I didn't tell you much i have done without any acknowledgement but the federal Child protection coppers told me and 2 other people known to me that we had the best child protection case resolution in Australian history and thank you. No payment needed for me because 10 hrs after i made that call, that little girl was back in her mothers arms in another far away state and Jade's 'father' had fled Queensland. I told you I protect children before anyone else. I teach the police too. Someone did. I swear on my family, its me
My doc's are on fb
Im not crying you are
😭😭😭😭🥰 truth.
The little boy will go nowhere..even if your son will be like 40 yo with a beard and bold..he will always be this little boy inside..especially men lol. His first years of life are the foundations for the rest of his life and who he will actually be..so no worries woman, even if it's sad time flies so fast
No... women, don't do this to your sons. They are not your surrogate husbands or boyfriends. This line of thinking is just perverse.
I’m thinking you aren’t a mother?
@@lindymomma8203 no I'm a father... and I am disgusted at the thought of any father with this sentiment about his daughter. Do it yourself. Switch the roles and see how it sounds!
