Today, Thao Thai has a lovely piece about all the ways moms say “I love you,” without saying anything at all.
Specifically, she’s thinking back to her own mom: “My mom often regrets things about my childhood, telling me that she wishes she had been around more. It’s true that she was not a PTO volunteer mom, a playdate mom, the kind of mom that liked to go to parks or the beach. To be quite honest, maybe there was a time when I did resent my own loneliness,” she writes. “But now, as an adult and a parent myself, I see all she did give me.”
Give it a read and take a moment to think about all the ways you show up for your kids.
