Happy Mother's Day to all the moms, step-moms, bonus moms, surrogate moms, stepped-up moms and exhausted mommy villages!!

Special love to the ones with complicated moms, missing moms, angel moms and moms you had to parent. You owe no one any sort of performance on this day, and i hope it is peaceful and surrounded by the love of chosen family.

And as always, love to first-born/eldest daughters and other early-appointed matriarchs. If it is the only mothering experience you choose to have the remainder of your years, you are appreciated and understood.
