Today, I celebrate the beautiful, fierce, and often quiet strength that comes with being a mother. The long days, the endless love, the small sacrifices that are never really small-this is the heart of motherhood! Being a mom has stretched me in ways I never imagined, and gifted me a love deeper than words can express. I miss my mother, grandmother and great grandmother every day. However, through every challenge and every joy, l've discovered strength I didn't know I had and a capacity to love that continues to grow and I thank my family but most importantly my beautiful kids. To all the mamas holding it down, holding it together, and holding hearts-Happy Mother's Day!
