💐To me 22 years ago. "Thank you" from my daughter

Even though I was young, I thought that the kindness towards that child was conveyed properly by watching, listening, and touching it. When I look back on those days, it seems that I was worried more than having fun, but when I thought that I was doing my best, I thought that I wanted to do it while having fun later. How can I sleep right away and make my own time 🤔 I tried foot massage (I wanted to quit this because it was not fast-acting, but my child liked it and started to request "Do it ~" I said "Go to bed early ~ 😮‍💨" every time (laughs)), If you read a picture book, you will be sleepy (laughs) It was just things that didn't go as I wanted, but as time passed, the hardships ended quickly, and now I want to say to myself at that time "That kindness and hard work will return small things bigger ✨" 🤭

As an aside, my overseas colleague at work said "Happy birthday, 😊" the day before, and that was also a word that remained in my heart. (Laughs)

# feelings of gratitude Anxious days are also treasures My daughter's birthday.

... Read more22年前、新米ママとしての私の日々は常に不安との戦いでした。娘がすぐに寝てくれず、どうにかして自分の時間を確保するために足のマッサージを試したり、絵本の読み聞かせで眠気を誘ったりと、あらゆる工夫をしていました。振り返ると、その時の頑張りや苦労は今となっては貴重な宝物です。 特に、「命懸けで産んでくれてありがとう」という娘の言葉は、長い育児の日々を経て初めて心から受け取れた感謝の気持ちでした。子供の成長とともに、あの小さな優しさや苦労がどれほど大きな意味を持っていたのかを実感しています。 また、周囲の支えも忘れられません。職場の海外の同僚からの「誕生日おめでとう、ムスメ😊」という言葉が、私の子育てへの励ましとなり、心に深く残りました。育児の不安な日々も、それを支えてくれる人々の存在や、子どもからの感謝の言葉で満たされ、乗り越えられることを実感しています。 この体験から学んだのは、育児は決して一人で抱え込むものではなく、時間をかけて自分も楽しみながらやることが大切だということ。苦しい瞬間もありましたが、そのすべてが今の自分を形作っています。皆さんも育児の中で感じる不安や苦労を大切にしてほしいです。それはきっと未来の大きな喜びへと繋がります。
