We know that today can be filled with a lot of big feelings and that Mother’s Day looks different for everyone.
Some of us have stories that were shaped by the love of someone other than a mother: A grandmother who taught you how to make a cherished family recipe that your kids still ask you to make on repeat. An aunt who accepted you as one of her own. A friend’s parent who quietly made room at the dinner table for another plate, or packed extra snacks for lunch—just in case. A neighbor who always welcomed you in with a warm smile and sent you home with a little baggie of baked goods.
Maybe you’re celebrating your first Mother’s Day as a new mom, or grieving the loss of what could have made today a celebration. Whether today feels happy or heavy (or maybe even a mix of both), we’re holding space for whatever your day may look like. Here’s to the humans and homes that make room for all the versions of motherhood, from the messy bits to the moments you’ll cherish forever.
Happy Mother’s Day from SHAWOOD!
