A mom will text her twenty-year-old child, letting him know it's going to rain and not to forget an umbrella.⁣

She calls to see how the first day of school separation went for her grandkids and if her daughter made it to the car before tears streamed down her face.⁣

She watches her daughter's baby, so she can shower and take care of her postpartum body.⁣

She texts her forty-year-old son, making sure he’s home safe from a wedding because knowing that is still the only way she can sleep well.⁣

She buys her thirty-four-year-old daughter Wetzel’s Pretzels when she goes to the mall because she knows how much her daughter loves them.⁣

And no, she no longer needs to do these things,⁣ but she does them anyway.⁣

Because a mother always wants to make life easier for her kids when she can,⁣ even when they’re capable, responsible humans and can do all the things for themselves.⁣

And she always wants to know they’re safe.⁣

Because mothering doesn’t stop when her kids turn eighteen, move far away, or have their own kids.⁣
⁣
It just changes.⁣
