“Before my engagement, optimistic about what was to come, I told my baby girl what I thought her dad was up to that day, and I lovingly showed her photos of my wedding dress as if she knew exactly what I meant. The funny part of being a pittie mom is that you know deep down that they do understand, their gentle hearts may not know the exact words you’re saying, but their souls listen, support and heal you. They’ve given me courage to stand up for them against systems of injustice, and the voice to tell their unique stories of love and light even when misconceptions make it more challenging.”
