Mother’s Day can hold many meanings, joy, grief, complexity, and everything in between. For some, it is a day of celebration; for others, it brings absence or reflection.

We recognize that mothering and care are not always traditional. They are also found in chosen family, community, elders, friends, and those who show up in steady and quiet ways.

May we be them, may we raise them, may we learn from them.

Happy Mother’s Day to you, whatever form that takes in your life.
