I wanted to share a beautiful, personal and poignant essay that my friend Kim wrote about the many complications of motherhood. It's entitled "My Mother, Mother-In-Law, and Me: A Love Triangle" and WOW, what a great read. It's featured on Buzzfeed today...But I don't want to give the story away by excerpting even one sentence. So I'll let you read it on your own. Have a tissue ready!
Happy Mother's Day.
Okay Renn... you made me cry... :'(
ReplyDeleteWe really need to love our parents for who they are and stop wanting them to be who we want them to be... it's tough when we're younger... xox
SO true, Luanna, and sometimes so hard to do!
DeleteThank you, Renn, for sharing this beautiful piece of writing. It made me cry, too.
ReplyDeleteBoth :-( and :-)!
DeleteRenn, finally have a quiet Sunday morning to read and this was the first thing on my list. Very interesting that Kim struggled with being enough and in the end we learn so did her Mom. I will be thinking about this all day. Thank you for sharing! Best, L
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lindsey! Always a pleasure to hear from you. Glad you enjoyed Kim's thoughtful essay. xo
