Oh man. This one cut straight through. I felt like I was living a day out of my own life, the frustration and weariness and struggle to hold it all together, and all the guilt and shame from not doing it perfectly (or even particularly well most days). I so appreciate you sharing, both this reflection and all the others like it. Like what you said, it's good to feel less alone. Your boys are right, and they are so lucky to have you. Prayers as we continue to grow and find our way. Thanks for sharing.
(Also a p.s. to add, thanks for including me :) so much fun get read each others words again all these years later!)

Thank you, Sara! I’m so glad it resonated, even as I feel the weight with you. And I’ve been loving reading your writing again, too.
