I always wanted to be a mom.
I knew I would put all my energy into it.
I knew they would be my everything.
A whirlwind later, I made it seemingly to the other side.
They said to sleep more.
They said it would be hard.
I didn’t know how hard.
They didn’t lie.
To every pregnant person,
To every mother, every father,
You are my everyday heroes.
To my mother and father,
You have my endless love.
