My mom

Today, I’m grateful for: My mom

My mom has always been one of my best friends. Someone who knows me, someone who loves me, and someone I can always count on. But during this pregnancy, her unconditional love and support has shown through more brightly than ever before. She knows me. She gets me. And she uses that awareness to offer exactly I need.

She doesn’t just offer help. She just ‘does the thing’ knowing full well I’m never going to explicitly “ask for help”. She gets me in this way and so she not only proactively anticipates ways to help, she does so in a way that doesn’t leave me feeling like a burden or inconvenience...which to be honest, is about the only thing I feel like these days. I’m so grateful for her and I honestly don’t know what I would do without her. I can only hope that someday, my daughter will say the same of me.
