WOW 💜

This gave me all the feels. Every line.

This one grabbed me hard--

"you raised three boys to men

spreading yourself thin

like butter across three pieces of bread "

Thank you for this. ((((((biggest hugs))))))

Loved this piece. So deeply felt and resonating with me. I too have used the “I’m going to die someday” card with our son who actually lives in our garage. He’s now addicted to riding his bike, much better than alcohol but almost as scary. You are an amazing, authentic, and talented Mother/ Writer 🥰😍🙏
