So happy for you Raven. And to think there’s so much more in store for you. Also, Ziya’s hair is looking so bomb. It has grown like crazy!!

Thanks for sharing these moments. I’m not a mother yet but my mom was like this with me. Authentic, patient, transparent & loving (also born on the virgo-libra cusp🤔). A lot of parents are just “providers” & don’t give them love, like REAL love. And trust me, by the time she’s in middle school she’s going to come to you one day & thank you for being her mom after seeing other kids parents and how they treat them & it won’t be physical abuse she witnessed, it was the lack of love.. You’re literally traveling the next day & fit in a night like this...you’re definitely a great mom. 💯
