Happy Mothers Day!
We honor and celebrate all mothers. Thank you to all mothers, for nurturing, loving, and supporting us. Thank you to biological mothers, foster mothers, adoptive mothers, mothers in law, stepmothers, and chosen mothers.
We also recognize that Mother’s Day can bring up complex feelings and grief. We hold space for all who have lost their mothers, those who are estranged from their mothers, who have not been mothered, whose dreams of motherhood have not been realized, and for those who are triggered or pained by Mothers Day.
Today I celebrate and honor the mothers who are closest to me. My mother Grace, who gave birth to me in 4 hours. My maternal grandmother Julia, who mothered her 5 siblings, her nieces and nephews, and her own 3 daughters, and who lived 99 long and full years. My paternal grandmother Duane, for whom I am named, who taught me how to cook and sew, and how to listen and hold space. My mother-in-law Gloria, who took me in immediately and is constant in her love and support of our family. My daughter Carolina, who came into my life as a new mama, and has mothered her entire extended family, and is one of my best friends. I’m very blessed, thanks be to God.
Thank you to all of our clients, for sacrificing for your babies, for loving unconditionally, for exemplifying mothering to our community and world. We honor you today, and are thankful that you have invited us into some of the most intimate and special moments in your family’s life. God bless you and your family, today and always.
