I only get one chance to raise my kids

 I only get one chance to raise my kids. Just one.

And that means their little hearts will always come first. Before opinions. Before outsiders. Before anyone who tries to tell me how to do this or makes me question my choices.

I will protect their innocence. I will be their safe place. I will give them the kind of love that builds them up from the inside out.

Because nothing matters more to me than the way they feel about themselves and this world. They only get one childhood. And I only get one shot at being their mom. I won’t waste it.
