It doesn’t matter… Life Happens.

What I’ve learned in the last 30+ days ….

It doesn’t matter what you read while pregnant. It doesn’t matter if you fed them straight from your body or mixed formula. It doesn’t matter if you read them books every single night or just played with them for an hour before bedtime. It doesn’t matter if you forgot their sandwich but packed them everything else they love in their kindergarten lunchbox - it doesn’t matter if you let them have screen time when it’s raining or playing in the mud after the storm passes. It doesn’t matter if they’re having frozen pizza for the 3rd night in a row because that’s all they’ll eat that week.

Do you know WHAT matters?! Is that your child KNOWS you love them that no matter what Life Faces that you can conquer it without the fear of the unknown.

Keatons always been an “old soul” type - he’s been such a “young man” for all his life. I used to blame myself for this. For treating him as if he was an adult way before he even knew what that word meant.

But today as I sit, pray for comfort, guidance, wisdom along with peace & understanding…. I am thankful. Thankful for the days I said it was “okay” to not be the perfect parent. That I never once read the baby book. That I found my way through trial and error — because parenting each child is different. You can have the same intentions with all your children but at the end of the day. There’s no rule book. No one thing that’s “do this = perfect life”.

We’re sitting here. Keatons battling brain cancer & trying to kick it in the ass. Because that’s just the kid he is. He’s here to fight and win..

As we hit day 2 of round 2 of chemo this week - I am fully reminded that he’s stronger than I am in so many ways.

He’s resilient. He’s sassy & kind. He’s a farm kid 🫶🏼

So if I’m not sharing & posting as much …. My kiddo had a brain tumor found 10.30.24 by random chance of me taking him to the doctor because he wasn’t feeling himself. He had surgery 11.1.24. He had his first round of chemo 11.14.24. Listen to your gut momma & don’t be afraid to not do it the way you read about!
