What a beautiful reflective piece, Michelle, and I imagine most parents will resonate with it. I think writing is the most wonderful form of selfie and you are amassing an accomplished body of work here, where you are centre stage, where you belong. Don't worry - the day will come when you have all the time in the world to explore all your many identities, to let go of labels (mother/wife/lover) and truly recognise the beauty of you. A💚🙏
