Recently celebrating Mother’s Day, ran across an everyday series of parenting bumps, quick secession, made me all the more appreciative of mothers, their primary role, their powerful influence;

Number Two having considerable challenges on this particular day, or just me, or both, but MAN, it was a steep, gravel-filled ride out of that dip,

Many hours passed and we could t find out way, me holding tight, but also trying to nurture along the way,

What to say? More than once thinking, “…if their mom was here she’d have a more effect tact…”,

These last several years now a two-house family, split 50/50, plenty of reasonable co-parenting, but in these recent moments, just wanting the magic and not finding it;

For sure even with two parents together the struggle could have been similar, but I think not, much as I think I can parent ok, Mama …? Mama got the power, the magic, all power to the mamas.
