Carrying Love Wherever He Goes

That morning squeeze before school.

Backpack on. Big smile. Tiny hand in mine.

And as he walks in, I always tell him.

Even when we’re apart, I’m always thinking of you.

In the middle of meetings.

During quiet moments at my desk.

On the way to pick him up.

Because motherhood doesn’t clock in and out.

Our hearts go with them wherever they are.

School is where he grows.

But home is where he’s rooted.

And no matter how busy the day gets, he carries my love with him and I carry him in every thought.

... Read moreAs a working mother, I truly resonate with the feeling that motherhood doesn’t clock in and out. Even while juggling meetings and tasks during the day, I find my thoughts drifting to my child, especially at those early morning school drop-offs. It's a small yet significant routine: that warm squeeze, the backpack being set on, and holding a tiny hand tightly before sending him off. These moments have become priceless anchors in an otherwise hectic schedule. From personal experience, maintaining this connection through words like "Even when we’re apart, I’m always thinking of you" helps my child feel reassured throughout the day. It reminds both of us that love is a constant presence, not bound by physical proximity. I’ve noticed that children carry this emotional support with them; it helps them feel secure and loved, especially in the often overwhelming environment of school. Many working mothers share similar challenges — balancing professional responsibilities while nurturing the emotional needs of their children. It's essential to create these little touchpoints, whether it's a morning hug, a midday message, or a special routine when picking them up. These "Little Big Moments" shape the comforting roots children carry with them as they grow. Moreover, home remains a critical foundation amidst a child's growth outside in school. The assurance of love and support back home empowers children to explore, learn and develop confidence. I encourage fellow working mothers to embrace these emotions and cherish the quiet times between meetings and work tasks when you can mentally reconnect with your child. Ultimately, this ongoing emotional presence transcends physical distance, reminding us that even in busy lives, love is a guiding force that travels with our children wherever they go. Sharing these experiences strengthens our collective understanding of #WorkingMumLife, #SchoolDropOff, and #MotherhoodMoments, showing that every working parent’s journey carries love as its strongest thread.
