I can relate to this post very much. At 22 i became a single mom, and though i had help and support from my family i lost who i was. All my then ambitions and dreams stopped. I became a mom. I tried to still be the same me but it was so incredibly hard. It changed me. I ended up raising an incredible young man who now has his own wife and baby at 40 yrs old. He has proving to be the best father he never truly had. Our love was enough. He recently thanked me for raising him, i cried. Up until that day i was never really sure i did right by him because i made bad choices and mistakes. I am now just recently trying to get my old self back and redefine my life, to start putting myself 1st cuz im worth it. I have to hope theres another light at the end of my newest path as a gramma, be there for her but mainly figure out what my new dreams are that will make me feel truly happy and finally content. I have to hope i will achieve that too like i achieved being the mom my son deserved.
Amazing how much power there can be in a simple sentence. Moms really are the unsung heroes a lot of the time. We probably don't say it nearly enough. Glad you two were able to share that moment together!
Wishing you a very Happy Mother's Day / Gram's Day weekend 🙂
