“I was 19 when I got pregnant with my first son.”
“Didn’t anyone know how much we wanted to be parents, how much I wanted to carry a child of my own?”
“My parents were judged a lot but stayed strong together.”
It wasn’t a prank!
“You can take a million perfect selfies, but the pictures your kids will appreciate when they are older are ones like this. The pictures I WILL appreciate when my kids are grown, are the ones like this.”
It’s time we all act as role models and empower the women around us, today.
“My 3-year-old daughter climbed on a treadmill at a relative’s house and turned it on full speed, and then she fell on the moving belt and got caught between the belt and the wall. Everything felt like it was moving in slow motion. When I heard the machine come on and then her screaming, I felt like I was running in tar or I had concrete blocks on my feet.”
“I wiped the tears from her eyes and told her my love looks a lot like this chest and I will love her until the day I die.”
“Right before we left, we knew she was fighting an ear infection, and since it is fairly common in babies, we left the state with the doctor’s okay. All I could think about was, ‘How did I miss this? I am her mother. I see her every day. She grew inside of me for 38 weeks. How did I not see this?’”
“She also goes to USC and sings in the very same acapella group I directed all those years ago!”
