This photo was taken just 24 hours after I gave birth to my second baby boy, Waylon.
On the left is my ex, holding the hand of our first little boy, Cade, who is three years old. On the right is my fiancé, holding Cade’s other hand, and in my arms is our newborn, Waylon.
I wanted to share this because it’s proof that just because a relationship doesn’t work out between two people, it doesn’t mean the relationship with the child should suffer. I would never take that away from Cade. Every child deserves the love of both a mother and a father, and in our case, Cade is lucky enough to have even more love surrounding him.
Be civil. Co-parent. Put the children first. If you brought a child into this world together, it is both your responsibility to raise them, love them, and make them feel secure. At the end of the day, it is not about us as adults. It is about them.
Because when children are loved by everyone around them, they thrive. ❤️
