To The Mothers Who DON'T Have it All Together!

Thank You For Your Imperfection

To The Mothers Who DON'T Have it All Together!

This is dedicated to all the mothers who feel they just can't get their stuff together. Whether being a single mother, one with a disability, a very hectic job, struggling with inner demons or anything else. I just want to remind you and encourage you to keep pressing, keep pushing and keep loving because your kids love you, in spite of you.

Along with being a product of a single parent household, I have read many posts, blogs and watched many videos lately (one I will post below) about how mothers are feeling inadequate.

So I write this letter to the mothers who don't have it all together.

Dear you,

We have heard you cry, doubt yourself about how you raise us, but we want you to know we love you. See, we understand that you may not feel you have it together but let us reassure you, we don't care. Nobody does, no one is perfect and even God says perfection has limitations, so thank you for not being perfect. Thank you for showing us realness, for making mistakes and realizing it is okay. Thank you for showing us how life happens and thank you for showing us its okay to be who we are. You do not only clothe us, feed us and provide shelter. Oh, no, you love us far beyond measure, a love God himself handcrafted as we formed in your belly. You are timeless, gentle yet possess the power to destroy anything and anyone who dares hurt us. Please stop doubting yourself, because we know you are doing the best you can with what you can. We know sometimes we don't make things easier but thank you for never giving up on us and being the pillar of our home. Without you we probably wouldn't even know how to tie our shoes (lol), just to say you make a bigger impact than you think. So please remember when you are feeling you are failing as our mom, you will always be our superwoman.

Sincerely,

The Kids

With this, I just want to say thank you to all the imperfect mothers, you women are amazingly strong. Without you, a lot of us would not be who we are today. Thank you for being you.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
