I've come to realize that some days, the voices of other mamas like you are the only thing that makes me feel sane.

Thank you Niki, for sharing Myles with us, and a hug across the ether...

I've come to realize that there are some things that are out of the control of me and God.

I've come to realize that there are people I've never met IRL, who are better friends to me than people I see every day.

I've come to realize that love for your child is immediate and endless.
