I’m Not JUST Your Mom!

 I’m not just your mom.

I’m a wife, a daughter, a sister, an aunt, and a niece.

But more than anything…

I’m a person.

I was once a little girl who loved to laugh, who dreamed of becoming a princess, and who ran to her own mommy when she was scared. I was a kid trying to find my way. I was a teenager stumbling through this crazy world, making mistakes and trying to learn from them.

And then I became a mom.

I didn’t know how to care for something so tiny, so fragile. I didn’t come with a manual or a blueprint. I had to grow with you—learn with you. Every new stage of your life was a new stage for me too.

Yes, I’m your mom.

But I’m also still just a woman learning every day. Still figuring things out. Still getting it wrong sometimes. Still dreaming. Still healing. Still growing.

So the next time you look at me—when I forget something, when I say the wrong thing, when I seem overwhelmed—I hope you’ll remember: I’m not just your mom.

I’m a whole person.

One who loves you more than you could ever know,

But one who’s still just trying to get it right.

This is new for me too.
