Today we are just overwhelmed with gratitude. Thank you to everyone for the gifts, the calls, the texts, the prayers, the flowers, and every message wishing us a Happy Mother’s Day. Every kind word meant more than you know.
But today I also want to speak to the people who may be hurting quietly. Mother’s Day is not easy for everyone. Some have lost their mothers. Some never had the love or protection they deserved from a parent. Some are carrying grief, distance, trauma, or emptiness today. Please know that your pain is seen too.
Family is not always blood. Sometimes the people who love us the hardest are the friends who became family, the grandmothers who stepped in, the women who showed up, stayed consistent, and loved us when life felt heavy. Hold tightly to the people who bring you peace, safety, comfort, and genuine love. Those connections matter deeply.
I especially want to say how much I love Maritssa and Grandma Yoyó for spoiling me today and making me feel so loved. I admire the strength, resilience, and heart that both of you carry. Maritssa, I see how hard you work, how fiercely you love your children, and how much you sacrifice. You are an incredible woman, and I am truly grateful for you both every single day. Thank you for the Bomb ass dinner today. A special thank you to Addy for for wrapping & hand picking my flowers and Elias for all the hugs 🤗
To anyone hurting today: I hope you find comfort in the love that still exists around you, even if it comes in unexpected forms. Sometimes healing begins when we allow ourselves to receive love from the people who choose us willingly.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers, bonus moms, grandmothers, caretakers, and strong women carrying more than most people will ever understand. 💐 I love & miss my heavenly grandma, that was my real mother.
