who am I?
I know my titles - wife, mom, daughter, sister, yaya - but who is my true self. Maybe she is a combination of each of those titles, depending on the day. Needless to say, I'm having a bit of an identity crisis since becoming a parent. Some days I don't see Jessica in the mirror or in the eyes of my family and friends. In the blink of an eye you become a entirely new person who you're supposed to immediately connect and identify with but I haven't. I'm sure (and hopeful) that as time passes I'll figure it all out, and yet, today I mourn the loss of that ability to recognize who I am outside of those titles. Isn't it important for my husband and son to know that woman too? It definitely is. It's also equally - if not more - important to know her myself.

My love you are doing such an amazing job as a mother. Liam is the success he is almost totally because of your incredible care and devotion. I know this is not easy for you, which makes your effort all the more impressive. We will continue to build our little man up, and you as well. I will help support you and your journey as best as I can, and always be in your corner as you reconnect with the wonderful wife, mom, daughter, sister, yaya we all know. Love you!
