I longed to be a mother while simultaneously grieving the experience I was robbed of when I lost my mom. This juxtaposition has been constant. From fertility struggles, to a loss, to the joy of one baby with another on the way. It’s a life I couldn’t have dreamed up myself.
Being a mom helps me understand my mom and her love so much more. I lost her over 20 years ago and somehow I still cry when I think too much about her.
I know today is full of so much joy for so many, and sorrow for so many others. It’s a privilege to get to support all the amazing women in my circle since I’ve lived so many versions of the motherhood experience.
