Mother’s Day hits a little differently this year. Losing my grandmother has left an ache in my heart that’s hard to put into words. She was the kindest person I’ve ever known. She had warmth and grace all wrapped into one—and I feel her absence deeply.
But in that sadness, I find an even deeper appreciation for my own mother. Her love, her resilience, and everything she’s poured into our family—I see it more clearly than ever. I’m so thankful for her.
And then there are my boys… growing so fast it almost hurts. They’re still my babies, but each day brings little changes—longer legs, louder laughs, and more independence. I want to freeze time. I want to hold them just a little longer, feel their weight in my arms during a nap, and soak in every little “hi mama” when I walk through the door.
This Mother’s Day is full of layers. Love, loss, gratitude, and the quiet hope that I’m soaking it all in before it becomes a memory. 💐💛
