Doing my Best
Some days, the best you can do is get one kid to late swim practice while the other one falls asleep in the car.
I hope you know that just showing up and doing your best to keep your kids safe is good enough for some days.
I want you to see our journey as it was. And this entry is just us, getting through this crazy life one day at a time.
I share the journal ten years after Mikey wrote it so I can tell you with confidence – some days will be tougher than others and you’ll get through it…
And sometimes one kid will fall asleep in the car.
Wink.
