This one is a little more depressing that my last exciting realization (about no diapers some day). The other night I was walking up to bed and did my usual routine of checking in on the girls. It had been a particularly long and trying day but as usual seeing them asleep and peaceful melted the long day away for a few minutes. It dawned on me that all these long and difficult hours we put in as mothers and fathers during the early years will never be truly known by our children. Do we sit and think about how much our parents gave and sacrificed to us when we were two? I know I don't.
The hours of PT, and OT and ST. The long, tough days with two toddlers whining and fighting all day. The days I myself want to find a corner to sit and cry. They'll never know what we do or we give... until they themselves have children. Guess that's why being a parent is one of the biggest sacrifices I will ever make.
