The reaction to this on my stories has been insane. Your msgs say it all, so I’ve put it up here for you to read in all its glory. My daughter wrote this for me today, she is simply incredible. I don’t know what I did to deserve her. Happy Mother’s Day to ALL the amazing mums out there whatever your unit may look like x When I explain my unit to new people that I meet, when they learn that I don’t have a dad, they look down at their feet. They assume that this upsets me, like it’s a choice I never chose, but they don’t understand that I’m happiest with the people I love most. They’ve grown up with two parents and believe that that’s the norm, but families are all different, they come in many forms. My Mum is both my Mum and dad, my hashtag number one, my inspiration, role model, the source of all my fun. She races between dance lessons, assembly’s and shoots, and rocks amazing outfits, dressing gowns to power suits. And when I think she can’t get any better, she wows me with her skills, pesto pasta, karaoke, Cardi B, she really kills. She’s independent, loving, sassy, a right old drama queen and I look at those girls with 2.4 families and ask ‘where have you been’? It doesn’t matter what body that love comes in, as long as it is there and because I have my mama, I honestly couldn’t care. But that’s not to say that dads aren’t great, just take a look at Sim. He’s a dad to four and soon one more, I don’t know where to begin! He makes mama so happy and drives me to my dance, he also taught me and Hero to give father figures another chance. I love you two with heart and soul, you’re at my beck and call. And when I climb the ladder of life, you catch me when I fall. And although we’re not traditional, there’s still one saying that holds true, everything will change except your mama loving you .
