Meeting this weekend honestly meant more to me than I expected. 🥰
I already adored her books, especially Good Spirits and First Time Caller. But hearing her speak made me love her work even more. She was hilarious, real, and so incredibly relatable. But the moment that truly stayed with me was when she talked about her struggles with postpartum. As a mom who went through that too, it hit me right in the heart. Sometimes all you want during that season is to know that you’re okay… that you’re not alone. And those feelings still aren’t talked about or validated nearly enough.
When I got the chance to talk to her, she smiled and apologized for being “seven glasses deep,” and I told her absolutely no apologies..she deserved every single one. I was also one of the last few readers in line to finally get to meet her, so it had been an evening. We ended up sharing a small moment about postpartum struggles, and then she looked at me and said, “You’re a great momma.”
I wanted to cry right there. 🥹
Because sometimes the words you didn’t realize you needed come from the most unexpected places. And sometimes the people who write the stories we love are also the ones reminding us that we’re doing better than we think.
Forever a fan of B.K. Borison 🩵
