"She is me, each and every one of them, a woman wi "She is me, each and every one of them, a woman with a mother in Heaven.⁣
⁣
A mother who feels both so loving and so gone all at the same time. A mother who feels absent from everything and present in everything all at the same time. A mother in Heaven, unable to be present like the mothers of the friends I know. A mother who shows up in ways only I can understand and moments only I can feel."⁣

⁣
I said yes more.⁣
I said no more.⁣
I played with my kid more.⁣
I made my kid play independently more.⁣
I sent my kids to school.⁣
I kept my kids home.⁣
I let my kid cry it out.⁣
I let my kid sleep in my room.⁣
I cooked and cleaned more often.⁣
I pushed the to-do list to the side.⁣
I was able to breastfeed longer.⁣
I wasn’t so tired and stressed all the time.⁣
I always offered well-balanced meals.⁣
I let my kids choose what they want to eat.⁣
I didn’t worry so much.⁣
I worried a little more.⁣
I didn’t yell when I lose my patience.⁣
I didn’t shrug it off when my kid has a meltdown in the toy aisle.⁣
I planned more family activities.⁣
I relaxed and enjoyed family time at home more.⁣
I potty-trained my kid sooner.⁣
I let my kids hit milestones in their own time.⁣
I gave my kid a sibling.⁣
I gave my kid more one-on-one time.⁣
⁣
UGHHH.⁣

Sound familiar? We can be pretty hard on ourselves.⁣
⁣
I’ll tell you a secret though (one I have to remind myself of daily).⁣
⁣
Want to know how you would REALLY feel like a better mom?⁣
⁣
If you let those misconceptions go.⁣
If you were just YOU.⁣
If you accept the mom you are.⁣
If you stop comparing yourself to that mom over there.⁣
If you remember you were hand-picked to be your children’s mother.⁣
If you show up for your kids even so.⁣
If you love your kids with every ounce of your being.⁣
⁣
Now tell me, can you do those things, mama? Can you love the person you are as much as those little ones love you?⁣
⁣
You do that, and you’re the best mom you can be.⁣
⁣
No question about it.⁣
