This photo is not posed nor glamorous, it’s everyday life.
I give my phone to my kids sometimes to entertain them and to cope. I hug them because I know I often need it just as much as them.
This was a reminder to me that my children are always watching me, even when I don’t realize. I want them to remember my quiet strength and devotion for them that will never waver.
I think all of us have been in a moment like this. It is normal, it is real.
It’s my Motherhood.”
