Happy Mother's Day

To the women who do what they can.

To the mothers who only want to protect their child.

To the women who adopt.

To the mothers who miscarry.

To the women who were someone else entirely.

To the mothers who struggle.

To the women who love.

To the mothers slaying dragons.

To the women who didn't plan it.

To the mothers who had it all figured out.

To the women who read parenting books.

To the mothers who didn't.

To the women who work.

To the mothers who work at home.

To the women who cook & clean.

To the mothers who don't.

To the women fighting the patriarchy.

To the mothers who beat odds.

To the women who say yes.

To the mothers who say no.

To the women who laugh.

To the mothers who cry.

To the women alive.

To the mothers gone.

To the women not mothers.

To the mothers not women.

To the people who care for those they love.
