My Crohnstipated Life

Parenting with Crohn’s is a rollercoaster. Some days, I feel like I have it all together. Other days? Let’s just say things don’t go as planned.

The Best Moments

💜 The first time my kids brought me a blanket and said, “It’s okay, Mommy. You rest.”
💜 The cuddles on the couch when I’m too tired to move, but my kids still want to be close.
💜 The way they celebrate my “good days” with me, like it’s a special occasion.

The Worst Moments

💔 That time I had a flare during a school event and had to leave early.
💔 The days I want to play outside but my body won’t let me.
💔 The guilt. The constant guilt.

The truth is, there are more good moments than bad. My kids don’t focus on what I can’t do. They just love me for who I am. And that’s enough.

Stay Strong!
