"Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body" Elizabeth Stone
If you’re not a parent the quote by Elizabeth Stone probably won’t mean anything to you. You may think you know what it means, but you don’t. Not only do I have one heart walking outside of my body, but two. I worry about my kids every day. It’s something I struggle with and ask God to help me with. I had hoped that as my kids got older it would get easier, but my mom informs me that she still worries just as much about us kids as she did when we were younger. As my sister is 31, I’m 29, and my brother is 24, I’m essentially screwed. But a lifetime of worry is nothing compared to the constant joy I get every day. Sure, sometimes I want to punch someone in the face, but not always. So whether you’re family, friend, a complete stranger, or a fellow anxious mama … enjoy.
