Now, all I can do is hope that Kennedy calls me while she’s off on her great college adventure. Proud of your sacrifices and sleepless nights. You did a great job and you should be proud of yourself. You filled them up with love and kindness. In that moment I want you to remember that you raised them. You will look at them and see a glimpse of the baby you once held in your arms and it will feel like it’s too soon to send them on their way. The day will come when you will have to send your children off into the world. So, this is my warning to you, dear readers. And you will be left at home, staring at the ceiling at 230 A.M. That one day, in what feels like a flash, they will pack their bags and start their own lives. For the first time in her life, she will wake up on her birthday outside of my home. I have watched her mature and grow and change in ways that blow my mind. Did I mention we live in Los Angeles? I am so unbearably proud of her. Kennedy is headed off to Northwestern University. With her I share not only my DNA but the longest, strongest bond I’ve ever shared with anyone. She knows what I like and dislikes by the way my eyes squint. And we welcomed our son, Levi, to the world in 2019. I did end up becoming a full-time working actress and found my prince charming, who adopted Kennedy the moment we wed. Through the years, as our lives have changed, so has our bond. I told her I loved her and that she was perfect multiple times a day, hoping that if she ever forgot, she would hear my voice in the corners of her mind, reminding her. I never missed an open house or a school performance. I packed a school lunch for her every day. I knew Kennedy needed a mother, not a friend. I didn’t allow talking back if I saw a frown, I would promptly ask for it to be turned upside down. She was my beacon, my North Star, everything good and pure in my life. She taught me how to apologize and admit mistakes. She taught me what unconditional love was what and forgiveness was what joy was. But I loved Kennedy with a fierce love, and put her before myself. Throughout Kennedy’s young life, things were not easy, as one would imagine, for a single mother. I let those dreams fade as I stepped into the greatest role of my life. Prior to becoming pregnant I had grand plans to become an actress, move to Hollywood, fall in love with a movie star and live happily ever after. Bless her.Īfter Kennedy was born, I set out to be the mother I never had. My very kind manager allowed me to stay on as a hostess until I had my girl… She realized I needed the hours to keep my health insurance. I was a wannabe actress and a real-life waitress who bussed tables until my belly was too big to keep my balance. Her biological father broke up with me when I was five months pregnant. The ink wasn’t even dry on my college diploma when I found out I was pregnant. Yes, I have a two-year-old who’s barely started preschool and a 17-year-old who’s a senior in high school. I’m up crying about my daughter, who is still only 17, still a child, my baby… and her too-soon departure to college. There was no book to read nor trendy course to take. I’m up because I’m fretting about something no one warned me about. He thankfully was sleep-trained at four months. I do have an almost three-year-old - but he’s sound asleep. I know what you’re thinking, I must have a crying newborn or a teething infant.
