When I dropped her at day care today, she didn't cry. And even though I wanted her not to cry every time I dropped her there in the past, I didn't quite like it when this finally happened.
Today I realized that every time she cried going away from me , it gave me a sense of fulfillment.
Of course I felt shattered watching those tears rolling down her cheeks but the fact that she didn't like being away from her mom even when there were plenty of fun activities going around, just gave the mom-me an emotional boost.
However, today was a leap. It dreaded me for the day she would go to school, college and then someday she would move out and explore the world on her own.
Will I ever be ready for it?
