Reading and rereading, and feeling a lot as a second-born who has only a first-born :)
While reading you I'm thinking: the beautiful thing about going back to the hurried writings, grainy videos, candid photos is always that you don't just get a magical glimpse of the essence of this human you have birthed, but also the complete and otherworldly person you were, at each stage of being attached to this soul. That's probably why it's hard to separate, but the good thing is that you know you've already done it - many times - before ❤️
"“It’s okay, baby. It is okay to be angry with Mamma,” I say to her. I’m sorry”
This scene records the crumbling of the safe, utopian shell that had contained both of us. We are stepping out as separate individuals with a range of feelings, many of which are inconvenient for us to hold within ourselves. But they are real and we must learn to make space for them."
I wish more of such acknowledgement happens between many more mother daughter pairs. 🧡❤️
"It's okay to be angry with Mamma"
🥺🥺
Sahar is going to be okay, no matter what. *Knocks on wood*

What a precious relationship! I am touching wood like crazy. Daughters are so special.❤️
