Ohhhh, Becky. I feel every bit of this ache for more babies and for siblings for my girl (who seems perfectly content being an only).
“living inside the slow and torturous death of this dream” — 😭 right there with you. You’ve captured feelings I’ve yet to be able to express through words.
Stunning words. This question - "do children too—similar to baby animals—not experience all the feelings we project in their direction?" is something I've asked myself a lot in this season. You have no idea how much this essay resonated-thank you so much for sharing.
This was so heartrending and honest. I felt the simultaneous ache and hope in your words. Thank you for writing and sharing this—and I am excited to read about what new things begin blooming in your life :)
The last line😭♥️ Becky, this was gorgeous through and through. The storytelling, the language, the heart that beats behind it all. Never stop writing, friend. Your words are gold.
Becky, this is so gorgeous! Knowing nothing about you, I'm grateful you shared the glimpses of your life. Ah, a mother's heart is a special and sacred place!
I had chills reading this, Becky. So much truth and beauty here and absolutely gorgeous writing! I feel grateful to get to know you better through this piece.❤️❤️❤️
This was stunning. Your words and your heart are beautiful, friend. Also, I won’t stop thinking about this line, “peace replaces the fear who's built quite the mansion in my body. “
Oh, friend. Your words (and your heart) are pure gold.
