Title:
Thank you
Text:
In a world full of overwhelm and uncertainty, we as parents find ourselves learning to lean on no one; but ourselves. Now, simultaneously preparing, parenting, teaching, homemaking, working, all while trying to keep peace and positivity in the home. It’s a lot. And all of it combined may feel like too much.
Yesterday I was having a conversation with my (almost teenage) son. We talked about how much he’s maturing into such a fine young man. And he said to me “Mom, you’ve done a really good job at raising me.” *Que the water works please* And that folks, that right there was every-SINGLE-thing I needed to hear yesterday. It was a BAD day. I was overwhelmed. Anxiety filled my mind. And those sweet words made my world stop dead in its tracks.
It’s a gentle reminder to all of us laying awake at night worried, wondering if you are enough, if you are capable of all of this. YES, out of the mouth of my son; YOU ARE DOING AMAZING!!!!!💜 We’ve all asked the clocks to stop, for the world to slow down, and to freeze little moments in time. These moments are right in front of us in our homes. Maybe it feels like we are in a bad dream, but there will always be a silver lining. The ones that remind us that we are okay.
So, since I cannot think of a way to properly show my support and gratitude for every single essential worker through this time. We painted the windows! Its not great. Its not perfect. Can’t really see it from the sidewalk, but this is our way of saying thank you; from a distance. 🌟
So, thank you to everyone working right now. Thank you to everyone staying home right now. Thank you to all my friends and family that have endured endless phone calls due to my panic and anxiety.
Thank you, world, for support us through this time of chaos and uncertainty.🌎✌🏼
