Today has been an emotional day. A mix of so many feelings. Those “firsts” are always the hardest.
Waking up to so many thoughtful Mother’s Day messages from friends and loved ones and continuing to receive them throughout the day from people who knew this wasn’t just any ordinary Mother’s Day for me, meant more than I can put into words. I felt so seen, supported, and surrounded by love.
And then, getting to spend the day with my three reasons why (and Maggie of course), doing the things that bring me the greatest joy, made the heaviness feel a little lighter. There is something so meaningful about being with people who truly know you, who understand what your heart needs without even having to ask.
And being spoiled with the perfect gift; tickets to see “A Beautiful Noise: The Neil Diamond Musical” was just the icing on the cake. I truly can’t wait. Thank you, Jacob, Hannah, Rachel, and Rich, for knowing exactly what would make me smile and for making today feel a little softer, a little brighter, and filled with love.
Thank you for bringing both smiles and tears of joy today. Your love carried me more than you know.
And to anyone who may have found today difficult for any reason, I’m holding space for you too. I know that Mother’s Day can carry so many emotions. Wishing love, gentleness, and comfort to all who needed it today.
