Singer and celebrity mom Pink sat down with the new issue of People magazine to dish on motherhood and to chat about her appointment as UNICEF ambassador.
She shared that giving birth to her daughter Willow four years ago changed her life more than she could imagine. “I have lived a lot of life in a very short time, and you get hardened a little bit — you get jaded, you build up walls. And when you see this little kid, and you get to watch them through infancy to toddler to little person, it’s amazing. You see how you were. When you watch this bundle full of love and light that’s untarnished and untainted by heartache and any of the numerous things that change you, it’s very healing. It’s a miracle.”
Pink is making sure her daughter knows about the hardships in the world, while trying to keep her innocent spirit at the same time. “I want her to be a global citizen. She’s very aware of the fact that not everybody has a bed to sleep in at night and food on their table and coats on their back. It’s hard for her to understand. I want her to be 4, you know? I don’t want to give her anxiety issues.”
She also shared that Willow loves donating her toys “We donate. When one new toy comes in, eight go out. And she loves being in charge of that. She loves looking around and going, ‘Okay, I’m ready to give this one up, Mama.’ ”
