Dear Mama… get in the photo.
Even if you feel crappy about yourself today, get in the photo.
Even if you have no makeup on and your hair needs a wash, get in the photo.
Even if you want to escape motherhood just for a day, get in the photo.
Even if you hate your weight right now, get in the photo.
Even if you wish you had nicer clothes, or you were younger, or prettier, or had longer hair, get in the photo.
Because those precious children of yours… they love you in a way you can never love yourself… they love you unconditionally. They donāt see your fat, your wrinkles, your self criticism, your failures. They see the most beautiful person theyāve ever seen, the greatest person theyāve ever known. They see the best version of you, no matter what.
So mama, give them these memories of a time when you were their whole world… because your love for them is more powerful than your self criticism and their love for you proves you ARE worthy of all the things you think youāre not.
