Motherhood is one of those transformative, crazy adventures that can leave you exhausted, joyful, frustrated and happy all at the same time. It’s not easy and it definitely takes a village. Years ago my mom set a tradition of having Baskin Robins ice cream for dinner on Mother’s Day and we have done that every year since. To the providers who helped me beat the odds in becoming a momma, to my girls who made a momma and have taught me more about strength, endurance, perseverance, advocacy and laughter I am grateful. To the mothers who have so graciously allowed me to be a part of their own journey I thank you, and finally to the women who have so desperately wanted to be a mother and struggled or is a mother and is struggling to find the joy I see you and I sit with you, and finally for those who may not have the best relationship with their own mother or have lost their mother I see you and am here for you. Never forget your value.
