I’m a mom to two girls myself, and I’m the mom who will drop everything to tend to a scraped knee or dole out a hug when one of them is hurt or upset. Approximately 98% of my time is spent comforting my kids when they’re sad or mad or hurt or even just faking it for some extra mom-love. And I am perfectly fine with that. In fact, it’s one of the my favorite parts of being a mom. Only I can make them feel better, and I love that they know that I am their safe place. While I don’t have sons, I am confident that if I did, I would do the same for them. Jaime Sullivan did and does, and an offhand comment from a stranger during one of those comforting moments got her all fired up.
