Happy Mother’s Day to all the mums and mother figures in our community today. ❤️
I know deeply that today can feel both magical and really hard at the same time. For some, it’s sticky little hands and handmade cards. For others, it’s grief, longing, uncertainty, or missing someone intensely. Sometimes it’s all of those feelings at once.
My first Mother’s Day wasn’t what I ever expected it would be. I was a mum, but I also didn’t have my baby there to celebrate with. I remember feeling so lost in the strange space between knowing I was a mum, but having nobody to hold.
That year, I bought myself a beautiful Pilea Chinese Money Plant. Since then, I’ve propagated it and shared pieces of it with other women over the years who have carried that same ache. If today feels complicated for you, I see you. I’ve felt that confusion too.
I also want to acknowledge those missing their mums today. I understand Mother’s Day can carry such a deep heaviness when the person you want to hug or call simply isn’t here anymore.
And for those lucky enough to spend today with the people they love, or with little ones curled up beside them like I am today, Sending you all my love. I think many of us still carry mixed feelings sometimes. Missing what could have been, while also feeling incredibly grateful for what we do have.
However today feels for you, I hope there’s space for kindness, and a little care for yourself somewhere within it. 💚
