This is incredibly powerful while being entirely self-aware and carefully respectful. Your brother and his family were absolutely blessed (and so were you, that sweet photooooo omg)!
As a new mom who just went through those first few months of parenthood last year, your gift of time - given so that they can breathe and remember it's still feasible and they're allowed to do that sometimes - is a glimmer (like a trigger, but positive) that will stick with yall like nettles you pick up during a hike. It's a moment that's both immediate and lasting with the potential to induce emotions each time it's acknowledged. Painful as you can't do it as often as you'd like, but you still get to do it and be a part of an incredible stage of life. 💜
Truly hope the scales balance out for you sooner rather than later, and that you learn how to beat the game using your own house rules!
You're giving me a run for my money with this comment. You're clearly a spectacular writer.
Thank you for the encouragement and validation. I'll get the balance right eventually. For now, I'll likely continue to sneak in and maybe not tell the internet I did it next time around.
