Getting a little vulnerable here…
Mother’s Day is always a little bittersweet for me.
I lost my mom at age 15 to breast cancer. Since then I have always felt like a piece of me was missing.
I was terrified to have kids for the longest time because I was worried I wouldn’t be there for them as I got older.
I decided rather than living in fear, I needed to be proactive about my health. I started exercising regularly, getting screenings, genetic testing and most importantly being present and enjoying the time I have.
Fast forward 30 years later and I’m grateful to say that I am mama to the sweetest, sassiest, funniest, most kind hearted little boy there is.
It’s not easy being a mom. But it is teaching me patience, humility, kindness and how to (try) to manage my emotions in a healthy way.
Working on being present, and enjoying all the time and little moments we have together.
Sending big hugs to all those feeling all the feels today.
❤️
