this is a day late
and a million or so dollars short
but we all came together
at exactly the right time.
—
“here’s to good women. may we know them. may we be them. may we raise them.”
love, yourmom
much love to my three daughters, each one now a mother too, on mothers day.
even if i only rarely called you by your right name on the first try.

“mothers are not the nameless,
faceless stereotypes
who appear once a year on a greeting card with their virtues set to prose,
but women who have been dealt a hand for life
and play each card one at a time the best way they know how.
no mother is all good or all bad,
all laughing or all serious,
all loving or all angry,
ambivalence rushes through their veins.”
-erma bombeck
the best opening line ever
makes this my absolute favorite ode to mom
from a child in my class this year.
happy mother’s day to all
—
“being a mom has made me really tired and so happy.”
-tina fey
happy mother’s day
to my daughters
who have shared in
my seemingly endless graduations
and all of
our many, many other adventures and misadventures,
i am grateful to you and love you for this
you’ve made me happy
watching you all grow
from amazing daughters into amazing mothers
you are my idols.
“i don’t have to be perfect.
all is have to do is show up and enjoy
the messy, imperfect, and beautiful journey of my life.”

“being a mother gave me a better sense of what life is.”
