Oh Annie, I am here with you. It’s ok. I wish I had the words to explain the pain, to help you see it’s value. I know it doesn’t make any sense, to feel this hurt. All I can say… is keep going. Keep trying. Keep trying to be better, to show up the best you can. I know some moments can get so overwhelming, the lack of sleep, the constant need, the irrational behavior… they are learning, you know that. Just do your best. And when it’s not your best, pick up the pieces and keep going. They love you beyond measure, there is nothing you will ever do to change that. So keep loving, keep being there, keep being their “One” – because that is what they need from you.

Conversations with Mom
Even when you’re touched out or a walking zombie, your presence is their answer. Your heart is their language. They don’t know any different, nor do they want to. Work on your mindset and your approach, I promise things will get better, feel easier.
Spring is here! Are you listening? The promise in the birds’ songs, that familiar smell of Earth’s dirt being roused by the awakening plants. The sun is coming out and that will wake you from the darkness. This difficult season is almost over. I promise. Do you trust me?
Don’t beat yourself up Anne, you are an amazing and loving Mother. Just wait till you see the beautiful lives you are helping to shape take form!
Love you Mama, Mom
