Luka Saved My Life

It was a long time ago.

May 11, 2019. Pre-Covid. So many people were watching my Instagram stories and all I wanted to do was ask for help.

We were in San Jose. I was so pregnant and I was so scared but I didn’t tell anyone - not even him.

But I need to remember. Because Luka is my why. (DJ is too don’t get me wrong and that’ll be another post for sure but for now).

Today Luka went surfing and I dreamt a dream.

Today I stood in the ocean and watching my son surf and he doesn’t even try. He’s four. He’s just hopping up and having balance and really - this is the important y’all - he is having fun.

So go back and remember this is my perspective and I’m his mom. He was a breech baby. And I was so scared but when you’re pregnant like there’s only way one and that’s through. So I googled about everything Breech baby and watching breech baby videos and tried to be so chill. Because everything did work out. But I only know that because now it’s 2024.

Back in 2019 I just breathed every breath like it might be my last. And it was exhausting and my folks flew in the day he was due which was great. Thanks Mom & Dad. :)

Julie is here gotta go.
