I’d never thought about the what-if scenarios of my death. Mia’s a badass kid. She’s resilient. We’ve been through so much, I think she can make it through just about anything.

It’s amazing how much motherhood can change you. 

A few things have become normal in the last year that I probably wouldn’t have been paid enough to do without them if you’d asked me a couple of years ago.
