I was walking Lydia through the children’s hospital once when I saw another mom accompanying her child to an appointment wearing a shirt that said, “Mom AF”. I felt that in my bones 😆
Today at church a woman was catching other women in the back of the room and showing them a gif of Wonder Woman on her phone. WW was throwing punches with lightning coming out of her bracelets and the woman was saying “This is YOU!” She caught me, rocked my hand, and told me, “You are a MOM.” And since I had just wrestled Lydia for an hour exhausting every toy in my bag (and every non-toy, too), I felt that as well.
I don’t know what this day holds for you, but if you’ve ever loved a kid and have some stories to tell from that wild ride, I submit that those two messages/badges of honor above are meant for you, with love, too.
Happy Mother’s Day 💛
