"A mom-heart doesn’t change just because her kids are adults. And no one can ever take that spot in a child’s heart... grown or not. As I’ve gotten older, my mom still does the same motherly things she’s always done, now for me and my babies. She still stands outside, rain or shine, and waves goodbye as we leave."
I was raising my own worst nightmare. Smack dab in the middle of my brood of five kids, was a charismatic, sassy, leggy, blonde, dance-y, athletic girl oozing confidence...
I had nightmares about the 2-year-old I found crushed under a truck tire while mom was inside buying dope - But you didn't know. I really struggled with EVERY death notification I made to a family about their loved one - But you didn't know.
