Dear Tertia
Thank you for this post.
Thank you for making me feel okay about not being good enough.
Thank you for making me feel okay about worrying about dummies.
Thank you for making me feel okay that it’s better that there are no tears for mama and child.
Thank you for your courage to share your life with the world.
It is you I thank every day, mama Tannie T.
Thank you for inspiring me to keep writing.
Thank you for reminding me that the decisions Cam and I make for our lives are ours, and not to be influenced by anyone else, no matter who they are, or what they say.
I am mama, and I know the best way for my daughter and I.
Thank you for making me feel brave enough to admit that yeah…
Nappies were gone by 2; bottles were gone during 3, dummies are going. but they’re not gone yet entirely.
(on that note, Cam has told me that she’ll give them up when I give up smoking. eek. she’s a smart one, that one).
And, swimming lessons resume again next year. But that’s not my fault or Cameron’s.The important thing is that she is brave enough to begin again.
Thank you for writing that post.
Of every single one of yours that I have read (and yes, when I found you, I read every archive and every post so I can proudly say I have read every single one)… this one…this one had me entirely.
Thank you.
From one rocking mama to another, thank you for being you.
