For all the moms, and dads, and caregivers who have “those days” (or weeks, months…)
This message greeted me at 4:30 this morning, from my 19 year old son, a junior away at college. Nothing could have made my day brighter, my burdens lighter, than the words in this text.
As a mother of a teenager, this warms my heart. And gives me hope for the future.
