“You are all the joy I hope to absorb and observe, love and learn from in the years and decades to come. I have given myself over to you both in ways you will never know. And that’s okay. That’s what mothers do. I hope you will fall in love—with yourselves, with your lives, with only the people who truly deserve you. And I am beyond words and thoughts and thank-yous that you are mine.
My perfectly imperfect children.”
― Kimberly Harrington, Amateur Hour: Motherhood in Essays and Swear Words
