To all the women that raise not only their own children, but unselfishly nurture the children of other women and support them in reaching their dreams, thank you.

This is your day. I see you. I see how hard you work. How much you love. How hard it all is sometimes. How most don’t quit.

So celebrate yourself on this complex, emotional day that promotes Hallmark moments that most women will never fully realize. Even when they try hard.

Forgive yourself where/if needed. Buy your own flowers, too. Give yourself a real break.

Permission granted.

Happy Mother’s Day, all.

As for me, I will always be the mother of two beautiful children. One on earth, and one shining brightly in the heavens.

Thanks for asking me about both of them.

Makes my Mother’s Day extra special.
