“Jarrod isn’t a very emotional child, so him crying when we hugged Josiah really got me.”
“I gave every bit of myself to my babies and my family, and I was vehemently lying to myself about my mental health for the majority of my adult life. Until a few months ago when I walked into a doctor’s office, sat on a crinkly white sheet, and cried big ugly tears.”
“My intentions weren’t the best in the beginning. But slowly that changed: now it was about ME.”
“It’s always exciting for your baby to learn to walk. But watching your child with a disability learn to walk? Nothing can describe it.”
“You may be blessed to have children. You may be fortunate enough that your own mom and grandma are still nearby. Or, you may feel all alone, drowning in your own tears and pain.”
“I am crushed by the words used by pro-lifers. When you say you want to take away a woman’s right to choose…. remember my story.”
“It’s knowing what time to roll sleepy kids out of bed and who wants mayonnaise and the exact location of those lost shoes every single time. It’s keeping track of picture day and our turn to have the class hamster and which Saturday to bring soccer treats. It’s remembering favorite colors and favorite meals and shoe sizes. And if the tiny details of childhood matter to them, then they matter so much to me.”
“My husband of 7 years told me he didn’t want kids. I was utterly shocked and confused. We had already started saving for their education. I contemplated my choices, none of which were part of my plan. Divorcing someone I loved didn’t seem fair, but life without a family didn’t make sense to me.”
“Some moms cook elaborate meals and some teach their kids to make Mac and cheese in the microwave. They’re both awesome.”
“Sometimes I get so lost in my own stress and frustration that I forget my kids can have those big, scary feelings too.”
