Mommy.

I know you've wished this year that you could just take my pain; make it all better. I know it hurts you to see me crying and not sleeping and feeling alone. I know you wish you could help by holding the pain for just one day. I know that in the first months you wondered if you'd called the right people, said the right things, made the right choices.

But you've been perfect.

You've let me own my grief. And given me space to be what it needs to be. And I couldn't ask for a better mom...happy Mother's Day.
