Your words, “When I found out I was pregnant with my second child, I was overjoyed but also deeply worried that I could never love this one the way I loved my first. I mean, how would it be possible to love two people with an all-encompassing love? Simultaneously loving two souls with my entire being?” EXACTLY how I felt when I found out I was pregnant with MY second child. The wonderful thing about the way you vulnerably write, is you never know when someone out there is going to be touched by what you’re sharing. A “me too” moment! My husband always says, “Love is not a pie chart…you don’t have to take from someone else to give love to another!” Thanks for your heart! ❤️
Lisa, thank you for sharing your story too. You’re right — the entire reason I write is to connect with others in this transcendent way you’re describing. And I love that quote from your husband— he must be a brilliant man! 😉
LOVE this post! and just so you know, I love your eloquent words that conclude with the most piercing statement...."Love is a glorious shitshow of standing and falling and fighting and failing and staying when you want to run away." Here's to the shitshow that expands our hearts and makes us more fully human and deeply loved.
