So fun to see the evolution of your essay from last summer!

I relate so much to your story! I have a daughter (almost 8) who is my carbon copy in every way. We can struggle so deeply in some of the exact same ways, which is incredibly frustrating but becoming more and more beautiful over time.

Solidarity from a fellow mom to a six year old! I love her articulation at the end-“I’m tired”-so beautiful she can name her feelings! Loved this and felt all the emotions with you ❤️

I love this, friend. I see myself in each of my daughters, in very different ways. This is a good reminder to stay present with them and choose to show them that we are alike in our struggles, and can help each other. Beautiful

The moment of realization when you’re smiling and crying---the humility and love and compassion that you show seeing yourself in your daughters eyes, 🥹 it’s so good, friend! Loved this piece! Also, yes, the photos!! ❤️
