Visit with Mom
Last weekend, I went to NY to visit my parents. It was really nice to see my Mom. I have found myself to be extremely tired following visits with Mom. I realize how emotionally exhausting it is to see her, not completely in a bad way, in some ways good, but overall very overwhelming. My… Continue reading Visit with Mom
My mom would sing to me, “I’m gonna make you love me”
When I was a child I was very uncomfortable with physical affection. But my mom was always a very physically affectionate person. So she would always be trying to hug me, cuddle me, hold my hand, kiss me, etc. I didn't like cuddling, I didn't let her hold my hand, and I was very physically… Continue reading My mom would sing to me, “I’m gonna make you love me”

Mom ❤️💕
This Thanksgiving was especially difficult for me because of my Mom's regressing health. It was an incredibly exhausting weekend both physically and emotionally. I haven't talked much about it out of respect for her, and for my family's, privacy. But with many aware by now, it feels like the appropriate time to discuss it, and… Continue reading Mom ❤️💕
Day 4: write about someone who inspires you
My momma inspires me because she has the warmest heart. She has taught me that revenge is never worth it. Growing up, whenever I got into arguments with my friends, instead of just siding with me she would teach me to see the situation from the other person's perspective and have empathy. She does not… Continue reading Day 4: write about someone who inspires you
