To my daughters,

I feel like my life is taking a turn. I’m heading down a road I’ve never been on before. Nothing is familiar. The signs don’t make sense. Do I get off the road or keep going? Do I go alone or take others with me? Who do I trust for the journey? I have to remove myself from those whose lives affected by my decisions. Those I love… as well as those I hate. It’s getting more and more difficult to be who I want to be. When my decisions are the ones a mother has to make. By the time you’re old enough to make sense of this life you’ll know everything about me, the things I’m proud of, the things I regret and then you’ll be faced with your own decisions. As much as I want to help you, tell you what to do, those choices will be yours alone. The only advice I can give you,  is to examine who you are as women. Figure out what’s important to you, know yourselves, know what’s in your heart, don’t be swayed by fear or the opinions of others. Find your own truth. It will lead you to the things you love.

I love you to the moon & back.

Mom
