Alissa. Thank you. What an honor to be recognized in this. Raising sons is such a privilege and the fact that you published this on A's 18 birthday feels like such beautiful kismet. I am feeling all of the things today and this just walloped my heart. All my love to you and your boys. They are so lucky to have you.
Ah, such sweet serendipity. I hope your home is bursting with celebration, Rebecca. Give your guy a big hug for me. And thank you for sharing so much of him and you in writing-- it's brought me joy, instruction, laughter, a reminder not to take it all seriously but also to take it all seriously.
What a moving piece Alissa! This is such a personal topic; thank you for sharing it with us. I've gotten a glimpse into your desires as a mother, and that makes me feel closer to you. You manage to draw your reader in here, which is the best praise a writer can hope for. Good job!
Love this line. - " I want to yell FUCK YOU MY RELATIONSHIP WITH MY BOYS DEFIES YOUR EASY ASSUMPTIONS." XD

Sobbing 😭 Your writing makes it all clearer and also somehow less defined. I love you. Please braid my hair tomorrow.
It's a date.
