last year, Matt came to a parent-teacher conference with me *for me*… and what a beautiful gesture it was then, he walked hand in hand with me to the teacher’s class and entertained Bishop outside the classroom while I met with the teacher. I thought to myself then, “it doesn’t get any better than this” 🖤 and it somehow got even better. this year, Matt was with me again for Bishop’s parent-teacher conferences, but he was there for me *and* Bishop. I watched him lean in, get excited about B’s grades, ask questions about his learning and at the end he asked the teacher, “how can we as parents, better support you?” and in that moment I died and went to single-mom-heaven… and came back down to Earth as a parent, a half of a whole parent team. I talk about “our son” now, and “our family”. it’s the best feeling in the world.
