I lost my mother last year.

Since that point, I've had so many moments where I saw or did something I knew she'd love, and couldn't share it with her; so many questions I wanted to ask her that I know I'll never get an answer to. It's been particularly tough to not be able to share milestones or ask questions about being a mother now that I am one, too.

She wasn't in good health, but her passing was still sudden and unexpected. Things I thought for sure we'd get around to doing someday will never happen.

I'm thinking about her a little extra today.

If you also don't have your mom with you today, my heart goes out to you. If you do, this is just me saying that time is precious, and the people who love us are even more so.

💛
