what i'd like to say to my children's bonus mom

♥️

what i'd like to say to my children's bonus mom:

thank you.

thank you for loving my children.

i know you don't have to.  

i know you choose to.

i know it might not have been on your bucket list 

to take on the hearts of another woman's children

but you do it with ease and grace

and i am so grateful for that

and for you.

you could easily choose to not be there for them

or for me

but you always show up

without hesitation

and without question.

i know i can count on you.

 i know my children are in good hands when they are with you

and that gives me more peace than i could ever fully explain.

thank you for being willing to co-parent

and work together, not separately.

thank you for being willing to be part of a family

instead of seeking division.

thank you for being willing to be part of an example

to the world

of how peacefully and lovingly families can do this.

i love you

and i am so thankful that you are you

and that you are such an important part of our life.
