For many reasons, Heath and I decided when I was pregnant that I would celebrate Mother’s Day and she would celebrate Father’s Day in our little nuclear family. Being a family with two Moms isn’t always easy. But there is truly no one else in the world I would rather being on this ride with. Charlie adores you in ways I’ve never seen. You’re her safe place and her favorite person to cuddle with. You protect her (and me) with a fierceness that can only come from an unconditional love. We adore you beyond measure. Happy “Father’s Day” to my baby mama. There’s no one else for us. ❤️

“What if all we have ever wanted isn’t hiding in some secret and far away dream, but inside of us now as we breathe one another and find home in the way our arms always seem to fit perfectly around the spaces between us? What if we are the answer and love was the question? What if all this time it was us you were supposed to find? I am filled with wonderings, questions, and doubt but of one thing I am certain: it will always be you that gives flight to the butterflies inside me, calm to the sea I have become, and hope to the darkness all around us. It is you and it has always been you…You. You that soothes and excites and spreads joy like rainfall on the already damp earth; You that pulled me from the longest sleep and kissed my tired eyelids awake. If life is a question mark, then you my love, are the proud and bold period that is typed with certainty.” - Tyler Knott Gregson

Nothing can truly prepare you for motherhood, but having an incredible mom yourself certainly makes it easier. We are so lucky you are ours. All your babies and grand babies adore you and would be lost without you. We love you so much, Mama. In my life, I love you more. ❤️
