THE ONE WHERE BEAN 🫘 TURNS SEVEN
it's never been an easy or simple road for me or B but that hasn't ever stopped us
💌 there's a poem about being a solo mama, im not sure the author ... (if you know please send me)
"Two hands, one heart, a heavy load, Walking alone this winding road.
No partner's help, no shared relief, Just morning coffee, late-night grief.
But in the quiet, in the deep, I watch my little treasure sleep.
And know this strength, this fierce decree, Is shaping who they're meant to be.
Twice the love, though just one pair, A solo mama, standing there.
Weary soul but warrior's grace, Holding it all in this small space"
💌 my very BIG FEELINGS boy, one of our greatest challenges and the most celebrated qualities you have. the good is great and with that, the difficult at times sets us off course, for a minute.
i will say, im really proud of some of the work we have accomplished and i know WE will always keep growing, healing and figuring it out
💌 your curiosity and 9271838282 daily questions, lord i don't always have the answers but LOVE how your brain works, at times the most random way 😝
💌 Lego master & artiste, watching you build, create, solve usually at the preferred method of ZERO help or feedback
💌 the entertainer - you were always a Bowie, and never once had a backup name for you.
Your silly, ridiculous videos, skits and "YouTube" channel honestly is another beautiful facet to your ever expanding personality
💌 master negotiator - this one gives me the most bang for buck, and tbh the most difficult part of being your mama, but strong willed kids end up decisive and strong humans, so we work with and through (hoping this year, maybe NOT EVERYTHING is a fight)
💌 my forever +1 - whether it's screaming songs at concerts, laughing at movies, going to parties or trips - YOU'RE willingness for adventure (most times) is the best
💌 my silly, crazy, frites connoisseur, fashionista, math lover, empathetic, life of the party bean - it's been an honour and also the most difficult role, I've ever had being your mama (and dad) BUT that will always be MY FIRST choice!
hbd B,
your forever adoring x sleepy mama 💋
