There are so many things in this world I cannot protect my girl from, and that truth keeps me awake some nights. She may face disappointment, rejection, heartbreak, or moments when she questions her own worth, but she will always have a safe place to bring every messy feeling. I want her to know she can tell me the truth without rehearsing it first, call me after a mistake without fearing my anger, and fall apart without having to hide the pieces. I may not agree with every choice she makes, and I won’t always have the perfect words, but I will listen before I judge and hold her through whatever comes. Being her mother means loving her loudly, especially when life feels cruel. 🥹
