This has been written by Tess. Too good not to share here. Keep strong Kahn and LaToya, you're both incredible parents.❤️
Kahn and LaToya, I just want to acknowledge you both, because just like when a mum gives birth, often the mum herself is forgotten.
Every day we check in to see how you are doing, but not before we check in on bubs. Every day we update on bubs, because obviously we want and need to know how she is doing! But with everything going on it makes it all too easy to forget about the parents themselves.
Dealing with everything happening around you, navigating a new city, a new hospital, more doctors and nurses while trying to stay strong for your baby and each other.
I just want to remind you that you are amazing. You are doing amazing and the strength you have found to keep going and not fall apart is amazing.
This would be difficult enough for any parent, but you are young parents and LaToya, you have had to endure the judgement of being a very young mum, doubting yourself, losing friends, knowing that some society is looking at you sideways, but you both have shown a strength beyond your years through all this, that some parents would never do.
I love you and I hope you can hold your baby girl for cuddles soon!
Family is everything, and knowing that you have each other and can rely on each other even at life's worst is a treasure to hold forever ❤️
-Tess (Mum)
