Happy Mother’s Day to everyone celebrating!
I feel extra lucky today, as I get to celebrate this day twice.
Growing up, I must’ve written countless essays titled “My Mother.” It was always the easiest thing to do—because praising her came so naturally.
She is beautiful. Independent. Firm. A brilliant listener. Compassionate. Hardworking. Pragmatic. She doesn’t rely on others for joy—she creates it for herself. She has unwavering faith, is an exceptional cook, a loving grandmother, and a wonderfully unobtrusive mother-in-law.
I’ve watched her transition through role after role with so much grace. If I can embody even a little of what she is, I’ll consider myself very lucky.
