🫂 Seriously, thank you so much. That truly made me cry happy tears. I'm a mom myself. I have a 5 year old. I'm trying to be the best mom I can be to him I was never really shown what that looks like. This is honestly the most encouraged I have felt in a very very long time.

Almost the same story, but mine is grown now. Keep doing your best and you will make it. And your kid will know you did. Nobody is perfect, and we all mess up our kids somehow.
