Chantelle Petit thanks Ephy Saint for their daughter months after calling him abusive
Motherhood is not a walk in the park for any mom. It is not a world full of butter and milk but mothers never regret this opportunity given to them as a blessing.
Despite the ups and downs that come with motherhood, despite the fact that at times you wake up and feel it has been too much you wish someone could take over from you, no mother ever gives up.
Their setbacks make them stronger, more resilient to challenge many more years with their young ones. Only mothers can explain.
Ephy Saint´s baby mama, Chantelle Petit has had a motherhood journey that sounds like a horror movie for many.
Even before she could look forward to gracing the delivery room, even before she could hold her little one in her arms, it was pretty distressing for her.

Soon after she delivered, things became worse, with an unsupportive and allegedly abusive father to her daughter, birth complications that not only affected her daughter but herself as well.
She almost gave up, almost put off the little light shining within her, but today she looks back, she looks at the little angel she calls her daughter and thanks God she never gave up.
Letter
In a long love letter, specially dedicated to her daughter, Summer, the Kenyan content creator recalled her tiresome yet blissful journey with her young girl.
Alongside it was Summer´s throwback photo, back when she was still young – smiling her four teeth out, so full of life, innocent yet so cute.
Dear Summer,
This picture for me showcases your name in so many ways. It’s as bright as a Summer day. That’s exactly what my life has been like ever since you came along. From the day I found out you lived within me up until now. Knowing that there’s a little me that lived within me for some time & now lives with me & within my heart & I hers brings as much joy to my life like you in this picture.
Days when she was pretty excited to nurse her daughter in her arms and nurture her into a beautiful soul.
So tiny she was at the time, but today, she is no longer that little girl who could fit in tiny spaces, she is all grown and all the mompreneur has left of those days, are but memories.
This picture was taken today very early in the morning. You had just finished your meal, full of energy & playing with everything. Mommy was working doing some photography when she got the idea to put you inside her studio (which btw you could sit inside & fit comfortably a few months ago but now you’re too tall to sit in it ????) & shoot some fun images to capture the happiness & energy that lived within you in that moment.
All in all, she can only appreciate the journey, one that wasn´t easy but worth every drop of sweat, every sacrifice made and every commitment.
It shows. You’re beautiful both inside & out. My little comedian, my best friend, photo shoot buddy & my warrior.
I love you,
Momma.
