No matter how many threats I need to make and what lengths I must go to follow through.

No matter how hard I shake, no matter how many times I need to rehearse my words, no matter how tall I need to stand to see my opponents eye to eye.

No matter how my skin crawls because confidence feels funny on me.

No matter how much sleep I lose or how many meals I forget.

You showed me what true strength is at your beginning. Watching you showed me how to fight.

God chose me to love and protect three fragile warriors.

Tobias, Eleanor and Callista, I am your mother, and I promise to always love and protect you.

No matter what.

    There is a reason these babies are yours. There is no one in the world that would be as good of a mother for them as you are!!!

    There is no roar so loud as that of a momma protecting her young. That’s why we can lift a car off a child. You don’t know how strong you are until you have to be. And mothers, we put body builders to shame!

    I follow you on twitter and was cheering you on with each tweet about the doctors office and your sweet kiddos. Roar mama. They are so lucky to have someone who fights so hard for them.

    Watch out, world! This momma don’t play! Been watching your tweets – sounds like a rough week. My motto: Never apologize for doing what you feel is right for your Triplets. Do your roar, Momma!

    This is my first time visiting. Isn’t it amazing how babies change our entire outlook on life? I can’t even begin to imagine my newborn(s) needing to stay in the NICU. I admire your strength. I thought having a 1 yr old and a 2 yr old, 15 mos apart, had its challenges, but I can not even imagine 3 newborns, 3 teething babies, 3 learning to walk, (3 going to college)…you’re amazing! This post was beautiful…being a mom has made the biggest cry baby.
