I wish she knew they would see her as their hero one day...
Looking back at this version of me with all the sadness and pain she was in, I wish I could hold her and tell her it would all be OK. That she would make it through and become a stronger woman and mother.
In the space of a week recently, both my children called me their hero. I can't put into words how much that means to me! There was a time when I thought they would be better off without me, and I couldn't see what good I was bringing to their lives. But now I see that I am their warmth, their comfort, their safe space, and their home.
If you're in a dark place at the moment, please know that you will come out of it. You're stronger than you know, with so much love to give and receive. Be kind to yourself. You are someone's hero ❤️
