The way you write with slow, intentional beauty ls deeply moving. This is the kind of mother I would like to be. The one who takes the time, who makes the effort, but who stays true to herself and her womanhood. Thank you for this, and happy mother’s day.

This helped me understand my mother more. It helped me understand myself more. I am sobbing and have been since the first sentence. Thank you for sharing your story with us, it allowed me to have compassion for women for as much as we endure but especially the mommies, this gave me so much room to give my own mother and women in my life grace. It isn’t easy being the translator for another when some days you can barely translate for yourself (if at all). I have hope for myself when I enter motherhood. I have hope for my mom too. I know in forgiving and understanding myself I am doing the same for her in ways she may have never been able to. Thank you, Caitlyn. And Happy Mother’s Day! Much love to you & your little boo, and Happy Mother’s Day and much love to everyone who is celebrating (however that may look for you!)🫂🫂🫂🫂
