This is my seventh Mother’s Day. This little man made me a mom. The last seven years with him have been the most magnificent and significant of my life by far.
As a full time single mom since he was born much of the celebrations of him and us have been solo. There’s been a different kind of grief that exists and love that developed doing it alone for him and myself.
I got to celebrate all his milestones and also celebrate me and the work I’ve done to show up for him and life in ways I never could before. Because showing up matters and how I show up matters. I’ve learned how to show up for him…and me too with deep love and reverence. I can proudly say today I love myself more than ever because of all the lessons and love I got to do with him. 💕🌸
