I didn’t bring them here so they’d remember Disney.I brought them here because I don’t ever want to forget this.
The way they lean into me without thinking twice. The way everything still feels big and exciting and safe all at the same time.
This wasn’t a “bucket list” moment.
It was a pause. A breath. A reminder that these years are loud and exhausting and painfully fast.
Sitting in front of Cinderella Castle, I realized something. The magic isn’t the castle. It’s the season where your kids still want to sit right next to you.
One day they won’t. And I’ll be so glad I stopped long enough to feel this one.
