Happy mother’s day to all the moms out there! To the moms of humans, to the mom of cats, to the moms of dogs.  To the moms of humans, cats and dogs (an/or add your animal here _________). To God-moms, the step-moms, the adoptive moms. To the male moms and the foster moms. Happy mother’s day to those who so desperately want to mom and are dealing with a wait on that. To the women who help to mother the kids of other moms.  To the moms in heaven. To your mom and you future moms.

To the moms who have lost a child.

To my mom, who is the kindest most loving woman I know. She is the light and joy in my day.

Mom love can be the wildest, greatest most beautiful love. Mom love can heal.

And lastly, thank you to Max, Melvin and Jake for giving me my most favorite role in life and for filling my universe with joy.
