Saying goodbye to her this morning nearly broke me. 💔
Ten months of being her whole world. Her first face in the morning, Her comfort and Her home.
And today I had to hand her over, pick up my bag, and walk out the door.
I cried before I got to the car. I cried in the car. I checked my phone approximately 50 times before lunch.
Nobody tells you that going back to work means grieving a version of your days that you’ll never get back. The slow mornings.
The way she looks at you like you’re everything.
But I’m doing this for her. And somehow that’s the only thing that makes the goodbye easier.
To every mum who’s done this how did you get through the first day? 🤍💕
