Madyson Joye Stenhouse, wife of four-time NASCAR Cup Series winner Ricky Stenhouse Jr., took to social media to share a heartfelt post regarding motherhood. She shared the post with an emotional caption on her Instagram story, signifying how relatable the post is to her.

Madyson shared an Instagram post by the user @momhustleempire which entailed a short video clip of a baby accompanied by soft music playing in the background. The caption comes from the perspective of a baby who wants their parents to slow down and enjoy the time before their children grow up. The video caption read:

"One day, I won't have the smell of milk on my breath. My tiny rolls will be gone, and I won't fit so perfectly in your lap. You'll miss my toothless smile, the way I light up when I see you, the way we were nap-trapped, and the way I look at you like you're my whole world. You'll blink, and I'll be asking for the keys instead of your hugs. You'll miss the way we cuddled, just us. You'll miss the way I needed you-for everything. Hold me close, Mama. Because one day, you'll look back and realize-these were the best years of your life. 🤎"

When sharing the post, Madyson penned a two-word caption along with it to show that the video hit her hard. Her caption read:

"I'm crying 😭😭😭"
