“To the woman who fat-shamed me, cheers. I ate 5 burgers in your name. I love all 247 pounds of me. It’s a shame you don’t.”
“‘Sending people to talk to me only makes things worse.’ That was the last text I ever received from my sweet boy.”
“They have the same smile, lips, and ears. They’re this massive blessing that Tim left behind – a beautiful legacy. I’ve learned nothing is permanent, but I’m choosing to love and be present in what I call my permanent now.”
“It was another small step in choosing love over hate.”
“Your child enters this world silent and fragile. You allow your child’s mom to hold your precious little one first, but your hands shake with anticipation to hold the child you both created. You stand tall next to the woman you love, while inside, you are broken.”
