Janette Manrara Instagram – Lyra has been really unwell the last few days and after a doctor’s visit and antibiotics, she is now finally on the mend. It has been tough for me dealing with her being so sick for the first time and on my own. I wanted to make her better straight away and I just couldn’t. She was just so uncomfortable no matter what I did to help. Then add the usual exhaustion of parenting on top of that… my emotions were all over the place.
It’s important to talk about those tougher moments in life. We ALL go through them no matter what we post on here. And don’t get me wrong I know that this is nothing compared to what other parents may be going through, but all of our feelings are important, no matter the situation. Talking to a friend that called to tell me “you got this”, finally getting Lyra to smile, and the cuddles that were endless (she’s asleep on me now as I write this) in the midst of her being so ill and of me feeling the way I did…. these little things helped.
Parenting is hard and there are so many ups and downs, so…. to all of the parents out there who are having tough days…. YOU GOT THIS! Phone a friend, breathe, think of their smile, remember the days are long but the years are short.
You’re doing an amazing job and loving them deeply 🤍 | Posted on 03/Aug/2024 00:50:40
