You are the most wonderful mother a son could ever have. I could see him reading this as a teen, and later as an adult with much emotion and compassion for you. To me, it’s your Authenticity that makes your writing so engaging and beautiful to read. Commutes are no fun, but they’re part of life. I’m learning more about what the Fifth Pillar might mean and why it’s so important. Love you ✨💖
🥹🥹🙏 thank you for reading and for being in touch with the big feelings and for affirming my experience! You always read back a line to me that helps me understand my own writing from a different perspective- I can’t tell you how much I appreciate that.
Gah, this is so good. Authenticity!!! How did I not know that and then immediately know it to be true?? You are such a good mom, K. August is the luckiest (and so are you.) I have totally lost it in front of Finley as well and had all the same thoughts, but it's so ok to be all the way human in front of our littles. We're all learning at Earth School. ❤️🌧✨️
🥹 the most beautiful Lamb, thank you for affirming the feelings and the crashouts and the raw moments to be exactly what our babies need to see. I love learning with and from you. Xx
crying, wishing my mother had it in her to show me honesty. I wish I had it in me to show the girls that I raised this honesty. You have started a very important cycle. I love your words.
Crying while reading these words right back! We’re all doing the best we can with the tools we have… I choose to believe that. Your girls are so lucky that they have your love, as am I. Sending waves and buckets of love. PS- might need you to be on Oma-alert too 😅 typos and grammatical errors galore! Our Wellesley gal will not be proud!!
I am crying. Oof have I been there with both of my kiddos. My daughter is 26, my son 18 and I still remember those BIG emotion moments. They haunt me sometimes, but you just did something that I'm hoping will beat back the ghosts.. permission to know that it was okay that they saw me in my less than composed states.
Thank you, friend. Thank you for being a ghostbuster and for sharing so much. I hope he finds this one day and reads it and knows just how luck he is to have you as his momma. <3 Xoxo
🥹 your babies are so lucky that they have you as Momma too. The Big Feelings are so scary! And the last thing I want is for Augie to feel like it’s job to “fix it” or “fix me”… I just want him to know that it’s not always rainbows and sunshine, and that’s OK too…

Grammar schrammer. 😛
I’ve got you covered. 💕

🥹💟🫂 I know you would let me scream cry in the car next to you sans a spec of judgement
Thank you so much for reading today through the typos and all! Xx
Wow… this is authentically stunningly beautiful. 🥹 You two are so precious. ♥️♥️♥️
🥹💓💓 I really hope he finds this one day in the future and feels how real it was back in the day!
Thank you for reading and affirming our aUtHeNtIciTy!! I’m on timeout from that word 😂
Oh my gosh I love this!! He is going to treasure this when he grows up :)
🥹🥹 thank you for reading and encouraging us both, dear Caroline!! 🫂
This was really touching, Kaylen.
I really appreciated this bit —
“Behind the wheel
I’m crying even harder
thinking that I’m scaring you with my big, emotional, blubbering reaction.”
— it was so honest, and as you say authentic, that it just pulled at my heart strings. :)

I’m so glad to be able to do that, Kaylen. It is truly a pleasure :)
