Addison Timlin Instagram – “Dolores I live in fear, my love for yous so overpowering I’m afraid that I will disappear” That line in that song has been sending me since before you got here, my baby. But my love for you doesn’t make me disappear, it makes me so massive and spilling out with love and joy and laughter I don’t know how I fit in rooms anymore. Two years of learning and falling deep, deeply in love with you. I’m so lucky to be your mom! I revel and delight in every single ounce of you. Your fist pumping dance, the way you call everyone baby. How you walk across the room and reach out and say “mommy, I wanna hold you.” Oh, your scowling face too and when you throw your entire body on the floor in a silent protest. The way your feet weigh 100 pounds but you? Only 20. The flirty face you make when you see a friend or a perfect stranger, leaving a trail of melted hearts in your wake wherever you go. I often look up and see a mouth agape with a hand on the heart and I instantly know that persons just laid eyes on you. And it’s not just because you are unbelievable to look at, it’s because you just are love. You want to connect and touch and love and be loved. You still love sharp objects and glasses of wine but your main interests these days are kissing and hugging. Being close to someone who speaks the same love language as you can really change your life, having a child that does will knock you clean on your ass. Happy Birthday Dolores Wild. Being your mom is my destiny.
