I made a vow that my home will be different! We will learn to be more patient with one another, we will learn to be understanding and compassionate at all times.
Hi Britzies, I know it's been a minute but I've been spending a lot more time doing life and a lot less time creating content. I truly miss posting weekly though and hopefully, I'll get back into the swing of things real soon but for now, as promised here is another letter to my daughter...
24 September 2018
My darling girl, today has been one of the not so great days. You are so restless and so unhappy because you're so tired but you just wouldn't sleep and for a moment I lost my patience. I haven't had much sleep and I am so frustrated because I don't know what to do to make you feel better and so I just left you to cry. I needed a minute to compose myself and once I did I took care of you.
Baby girl I am your mother and I have to pull myself together for you but as the years go by please don't forget that I am also human I get tired, I get frustrated and I make mistakes too. Sometimes I will need you to remind me that I am the adult and that you are only learning about all life's twists and turns. I am learning too and we will help each other through this.
I always try to remind myself that a moment of patience can save us years of regret. I grew up in a home where unforgettable hurtful things were said in a moment of anger. All the hurt that was caused by it was so not worth it. I made a vow that my home will be different! We will learn to be more patient with one another, we will learn to be understanding and compassionate at all times. We will learn to allow each other to feel whatever we feel without judgment and when we mess up we will sincerely apologize and do right by each other because that's just what we do.
Families are not perfect! how can we expect them to be when they are made up of individuals who are not perfect but I don't want any of you to be. I love you flaws and all and I hope that we can help each other weather every storm remembering this.
Love you always and forever
Your Mama
Much love my Britzie's XOXO
