Mother's Day 2024

I never expected you to be a mother to my children. Never expected them to use such terms of endearment nor consider you as such. And though at times it wasn't easy, and at times it wasn't fun, you somehow endeared yourself to them, and it shows upon their faces, and in their words. Some would be satisfied with simply being respected, others perhaps liked, as so often in situations such as these may occur. But not you. You've managed to give them both, and I think that's a wonderful thing; it says so much about who you are and speaks to your generous nature.

So this Mother's Day I'd like to just say...

Thank you for being you.
