Time is precious, and this story is living proof. The sacrifices mothers make for their children are all too easily overlooked.

Although women don’t usually complain about such hardships, preferring to enjoy the fact that they can offer the best to their children, it would be good to at least think about them a little from time to time.

While taking her child to school, this woman had a revelation that she wanted to share with all other mothers.

As she walked alongside her son, the woman thought about everything she still had to do for her children that day: prepare dinner for them, pick them up from school, convince them to brush their teeth before bed, and much more.

Her mind had already become accustomed to thinking only about the well-being of her children and the things they needed.
But when she got home, she put all her chores aside and composed this touching letter, hoping that it would reach as many other mothers as possible and help them realize what really matters in life.

The title is suggestive and well chosen: “the last time”. We leave you to read her wise words, because other words would be superfluous.
“From the moment you hug your child for the first time, you will no longer be the same person.
You may miss those moments when you had all the freedom and all the time in the world to do what you wanted, when you didn’t yet know what it meant to be truly exhausted and when every day was different.
Now, everything has changed.

You change your baby’s diaper and hear him crying. The arguments and demands don’t stop, and everything seems like an endless circle.
But don’t forget: there is a last time for everything. The day will come when you will feed your baby for the last time. When he falls asleep in your arms for the last time after a tiring day.

And the last time you’ll be able to hug him while he’s sleeping. The last time you’ll wash his hair or hold his hand on the street.
After this, he’ll never need you like he did before. He’ll never wake you up in the middle of the night and ask for a hug again.

Now you sing him songs and play together, but that too will soon stop.
When you walk him to school, you kiss him goodbye, but maybe tomorrow he will ask you not to do that anymore. You will read him a bedtime story for the last time and wipe his face.
He will jump into your arms for the last time.

You will never know that you are doing something for the last time, you will only realize it when it is already too late. Even then, you will need some time to fully realize what is happening.
So, when you do all these things for your child, enjoy them, because they will not last forever.
After this period is over, you will see that you would give anything just to experience them just once more.”
