About April:
Jay and I have been raising each other and walking beside one another, with all of these moments woven into our life together. There is such special meaning in being Jay's mom, a bond so strong that it continues to carry me through life in the most beautiful way.
March 22, 2020, is the day Jay brought heaven to earth for me to see and share with him. It was a profound experience that forever changed my way of being.
I have been walking through life with such curiosity, often wondering, "How can something so beautiful be so hard to navigate?"
Each day, no matter what comes my way, Jay continues to show me compassion. He sits with me on the tough days and smiles with me through the good ones. He has taught me to cry, to laugh, and to hold space for myself, honoring whatever I need in each moment. Not to change anything, but simply to be with whatever is. To live.
Jay is my true cheerleader, celebrating life and all that it has to offer. He has been my greatest teacher, and he continues to teach me every single day.
Helping Parents Heal has given me a beautiful place to share all the ways Jay continues to show up for me and fill my heart with joy.
