Before you as someone “when are you having kids?” Or make comments about someone’s lack of children

Silently pray for them. Just pray that God will cover that family. Maybe they want kids. Maybe they don’t. Maybe they have been trying. Maybe they haven’t. Maybe it’s been uneventful. Maybe it’s been a path of tragedy.

I finally don’t feel like a newly wed, I feel like a capital “w” Wife

I don’t mean that the love and butterflies have faded. 13 years later I still love just watching him sleep and counting hits eyelashes

But it’s taken 6 years to find our rhythm. To work like we’re in sync. Where he can anticipate my needs and he can anticipate mine.

And the pain that used to keep you up at night and kept your pillow soaked either tears

Won’t even cross your mind

And then it will hit you that you can’t remember the last time you felt a pain so intense in your heart that you thought you couldn’t possibly survive or get through it

It will hit you that you’re made it through the worst days of your life

And you’re still here

You survived

Life didn’t end
