because it's not that you're different, it's that you've been set apart for a unique purpose

There is beauty and hard in every stage of parenting. When you have littles, the beautiful that comes with the new life that grows and develops so quickly is balanced with exhaustion and sometimes loneliness as you work to fill their basic needs, love them well, and on some days just keep them alive. As they grow and become taller versions of who they once were the beautiful comes in seeing their talents, minds, and hearts grow and mature, the hard comes in helping them understand all the emotions they have as they understand the world better and begin to try and see their place in it, while you pray you don't screw them up too much.
