At 30 years old, I was drunk, a danger to all living things. An unfit candidate for mommyhood, I had my tubes tied. The universe, with its dark and twisted sense of humor, realized that at 67 I’m finally equipped to parent.
And I for you, Prajna. I don’t know that I’d have the energy and light you seem to carry were we suddenly switched, you and I. You have the added job of fighting for your girls, for the culture to respect them. Women are so strong, but it’s tiring work, this love. I wish we could all pile together on a giant bed and nap together. All the hard working caring caregivers and their people. Just fall asleep in each others arms.
That is such an absolutely wonderful and beautiful invitation. To wake up to these words makes me feel like this is going to be a very special day. Thank you so much, Jodi. I think we rise to what we’re given not perfectly what is best as we can and we or I have to continuously. Learn how to rest well and reach out for help. It’s impossible to do alone. Thank you again, honey.
I absolutely love the way you write and tell your stories.
I also have that disposable diaper issue.
All the things. It’s a different situation, but I have deep respect for you.
Like Nan said you are the best mommy ever!
Three excellent decisions and I’m sure there are more that you’ve made to turn out like you have
Thank you
