What a beautiful post. I became a fan of your mother when you helped her lose weight with all of us following her. Then when I read your first book, she used some of her retirement funds to help you to finance your surgery because of the weight loss. Mothers, wonderful mothers, understand such needs of a child. It’s so nice to be able to let your mother know how much you understand her as a mother as you learn from mothering your son.

SO True, Andie. Having our own children gives us perspective and appreciation for our own Mothers. Happy Mother’s Day to you. xxx

Andie, you wrote these truths so well. it’s truly mind boggling, isn’t it?! This was one of the biggest epiphanies I had after having children too. And the crazy thing is (my) James is only 4, so I know there’s so much more raising to do and many new phases to come. It takes so much to raise each and every human on the planet, it’s really incredible when you get to appreciate that from the perspective of being a parent. Hope you’re doing well with your second pregnancy and you and your family are doing great. Miss you <3

In reply to Judy. Exactly. Parents try to hide the struggle from their young kids, but when you have that epiphany as an adult it really hits hard.

In reply to Simone Roy. Thank you! It's hard to think about all the things our parents went through. I'm sure you are making her proud.
