Alas, I'm highly imperfect. That's OK, too. If I'm your model, you'll grow up learning that imperfections in yourself are normal and acceptable. You'll learn not to put people on pedestals, because they only place they can go from there is down. You'll learn that mistakes are opportunities to learn about yourself and the world around you, rather than opportunities to practice negative self-talk. You'll learn that you cannot be all things to all people. You'll learn what you want to be and what you don't want to be. You'll learn to love yourself for the most spectacular person you are truly.
I can't give you that "great" mom I wish I could. I can give you the best mom I know how to be. I hope every day that it's enough.
