(this post was inspired by my friend and hero julie, The Blah Blah Blog : Mama):
when i was a little girl, i would say, "mama, i love you!", and mama would say, "rowa, i love you most." and because i have always been stubborn, i would say back, "mama, i love you most most!". it became such a habit to say it that i can't sign a card or end a phone call to a member of my family without saying, "i love you most most."
but it turns out i was wrong. mama loves the most most. i know this because i am her child and i am now also a mother, and i know that i love my ella so much that sometimes i can barely breathe. and wonder of wonders, that's how mama loves me!
i wish i had known, all these years, i would have been kinder, and not so difficult.
so mama, you win, you love me most most, but i'm still going to say it, because i'm still your baby, and i'm still stubborn.
i love you most most!
