The Blood & The Bones

DEAR SINGLE MAMA,

I SEE YOU.
I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT ALONE BUT I ALSO KNOW SOMETIMES YOU DON’T WANT TO.

I KNOW YOU FEEL LIKE YOU’RE DROWNING IN THINGS AND JUST WANT TO BE SEEN OUTSIDE OF THE MOM ROLE, THE PROVIDER, THE PROTECTOR, THE MAID, THE COOK, THE DISCIPLINARIAN… YOU WANT TO BE SEEN AGAIN LIKE A GIRL A MAN WOULD LOVE TO FALL IN LOVE WITH BUT ONLY BY A MAN WHO ALSO UNDERSTANDS THE BEST PART OF YOU IS THAT YOU COME WITH A LITTLE PERSON OR TWO (OR A FEW). A MAN WHO KNOWS YOU CAN DO IT ALONE BUT WANTS YOU TOO MUCH TO LET YOU. YOU DESERVE THIS AND NOTHING LESS.

I KNOW THIS FEELING, THIS STRUGGLE.

I WANT TO TELL YOU HE’S ON WAY. I HOPE HE IS. UNTIL THEN, PLEASE BE STRONG AND I WILL BE STRONG TOO.

LL
