I’ve been quiet on here & keeping a little secret.. life has been growing in the most tender way. Mother’s Day has always ached a little— since losing my mom it’s felt like a day made of memory and missing. But this year something new is blooming inside the ache. I’m going to be a mother. In these quiet moments, I feel her. In the ways I already love this little one. In the softness I didn’t know I had. In the way I cradle my belly without even realizing— the same way she once cradled me. There’s so much I wish I could ask her. But somehow I feel like she’s showing me anyway. Little glimpses. Little echoes. A love that lives on through me. Swipe to see a few memories of us— and a glimpse of the one I already love so much. Baby coming end of June. Happy Mother’s Day in all its layers. To those celebrating, grieving, waiting, becoming—you are seen. Thank you for holding space for this joy and this ache with me. 🤍 #honoringmoms #mothersday #pregnancyannouncement #griefandjoy #summerbaby
