I have friends. I have those friends.

Have you ever gone through something and in the moment felt like you had no support, but then you look back and think “thank GOD” for my friends? That’s postpartum for me.

Listen, I had a really rough postpartum experience. Looking back though, my friends were THERE. Some showed up for volleyball matches I was not yet ready to play. Some showed up for parties I was not yet ready to throw. Some sent invite after invite even though I ignored them all. Some came and hung out. Some texted me back in the middle of the night.

I DO have those friends. And looking back, I’ll be forever grateful for those friends.
