I always love your words and images, Kaitlin. Thank you. And as a 51-year-old mother of 10-year-old twins, I know from transitions 😌
Embrace the unknown!
Move on!
No risk, no reward, right?
Easy to say, harder to trust
When life arrives in gusts of unknowns
Like tangled limbs of branches
That I struggle to hold
My arms unaccustomed to reaching
For something other than the steadfast
Presence of my partner
And my daughters’ gentle curling limbs
Light on my back
Their breath on my shoulder
When the world requires too much,
I remember their loving arms
That reassurance
Like a hand on the small of my back
That says, you’ve got this
And we’ve got you.
yes yes, beautiful!
