My People

Words & Photography
by Sarah Holstrom



Today I kinda sucked at being a mom. Truth be told I would have rather been binge watching How To Get Away With Murder instead of changing a million diapers, making food snacks and more food, and building and rebuilding twenty Lego creations.

In that moment the stress of the day washes away and I feel an overwhelming sense of peace and gratitude that this is my role and these are my people.

But then I sneak back into their rooms once they are asleep and kiss their sweet cheeks and breathe them in one last time before I go to bed. In that moment the stress of the day washes away and I feel an overwhelming sense of peace and gratitude that this is my role and these are my people.
