Jamie Otis Instagram – From the moment I held my precious rainbow baby in my arms, I knew I’d love her forever, never leave her & I’d do anything to make sure she knows she is safe, loved & protected.🌈👶

What I didn’t know was how much she’d teach ME over the years.🙏🥹❤️

Growing up I always longed for a deep mother-daughter bond with my mom. I truly believe my mom tried her best with what she had, but there were many, many times I felt alone & abandoned.

I know my mom felt the same way herself as she was growing up.

I am doing everything in my power to make sure that cycle is broken.🙏💯

It’s not lost on me that the mother-daughter bond I craved with my mom I get to nurture with my own daughter now.🥹 I will stop at nothing to make sure my sweet girl knows how important, special, and LOVED she is.🙏❤️

And it’s amazing bc my mom is showing more and more lately that she wants to have a relationship with *both* of us.🥹🙏❤️

To be honest, I was always quite bitter towards my mom for leaving me alone to care for my younger siblings all by myself, but it was after having my daughter that I began to try to put myself in my mom’s shoes.

I don’t think there’s ever a “good” reason to leave your kids, but she had no support system and 5 kids all alone.

It took me having my daughter & becoming a mommy myself before my heart began softening. I’ve been trying to understand my mom more.

I believe in second, third, and fourth chances…sometimes it takes a few tries for people to change. And lately she has shown me so much growth and personal strength. And im so happy Henley (and Hendrix!) get to have her as their Grammy!

Henley Grace, I thought after I gave birth to you I’d spend my life teaching you, but you’ve taught ME so much in the last seven years.🙏🥰 I hope you have had the most love-filled birthday today! You are everything good in this world and I feel so blessed to get to be your mommy!! I love you so much!!!💕 | Posted on 23/Aug/2024 06:51:32
