Dear Friends,
I am wanting to do a quick post about my mom. You don’t hear that much about her, because she is a bit shy and she does the kind of background support that is so important but so routine. She is not the kind to care much about public recognition. But I want more people to recognize how amazing she is!
She is my main protector and nurturer. She gives up so much of herself to care for me. She dives into anything she thinks will help me. She always has taken care of me.
I am so proud and happy that we are fluent now! It is so wonderful to be able to communicate directly with her. It is so meaningful.
She isn’t perfect and she makes mistakes. It can be hard to navigate our old habits and relationship with this new relationship that communication allows us to have now. But we are both learning, and she always is trying. That is so important.
Tara is more visible online because she is the one who helps me expand my world in this new chapter. But my mom is the one who sustains me at home. It is good in a way that my sister is the one who helps with my public work, so it is about me and not about a parent’s journey. There are already accounts for that kind of narrative. So that is one reason I don’t highlight my mom more. But she deserves to be known for all she does.
Thank you, Mama! You are my rock.
Your Friend,
Danny
