So grateful you shared this piece of your journey Miranda.. as an pediatric NICU/ICU/flight nurse I’ve always wanted nothing more than this healing for mothers I’ve been blessed to walked along side of in their own journeys with their children & medical experiences. You have a gift & keep writing because so many mothers are going to feel seen with this ❤️

Beautiful. This also encourages me so much with the recent diagnosis of autism in my son, who is 11 years old, and thoughts I’ve been having in regards to that.

Oh Miranda. We all have a moment in parenting (or 5) that we're ashamed of don't we? It is so hard, but you've said it so well. I hope you can find some closure. Maverick is lucky to be loved by someone who cares so much.
