Things I will miss in a few years

fingerprints on mirrors
a little hand slipping into mine
"YOU AR MY FREND" scrawled on a crumpled piece of paper
kid empathy
obviously rerolled toilet paper rolls
"MOM! MOM! MOM!"
being the first
waking up with a leg on my face
outstretched pudgy arms
toddler injustice
the dawn of understanding
legos
watching daddy soothe her feverish head
reading by flashlight
scotch-taped wall decor
unexpected hilarity
forts
stifled laughter and shushing at bedtime
tears when I go
being absolutely needed and loved
