I sit beside my daughter's hospital bed right now, sleepless, scared, watching, waiting. She just woke and, at age 19, called for me, "Mama?" Still here, sweet girl, fighting for you, and waiting and watching and scared and sleepless, and praying and praying and praying. I never knew what motherhood would wrest from me, either. Thank you for your words today, Heather.
Oh, Heather. Thank you. We’ve got three under five and it’s exposed so much in me, and I’ve been feeling so disheartened lately. It is good to remember that I am not alone in it.
Heather, this is so beautiful and touched me in so many ways. I've been all of those mothers and am struggling with being the mother of adult children even though my oldest is 45. Adult children who have made choices that have altered the entire family and ostracized me from them. There were somethings I needed to hear. Things I needed to reflect on. Thank you! ❤️
This. Precisely this.
