On-screen text

Since becoming a mom... I owe so many moms an apology. I wish I texted you more. I wish I brought coffee instead of just saying congratulations. I wish I showed up with dinner. I wish I held your baby so you could shower. I wish I washed bottles instead of asking, "How are you?" I wish I understood what you were carrying. I didn't then. But I do now.
