When I think about the families I support, I hope you feel as proud of yourselves as I feel about you! I hope you know what a phenomenal job you are doing, just by showing up, seeking support, and prioritizing your family’s well-being. Things won’t be perfect, and no one expects that. But things also will not always be the same, and everyday you stay the course makes the entire journey just a little bit easier and more manageable. Seeking this support is one of the best things that you can do for your family and I’m proud of you for recognizing that!
