Before I ever learned how to create, I was created by her, with love, patience, sacrifice, and strength. I understand more deeply every year. No matter how much time passes, there’s something grounding about her hands in mine. A quiet reminder of where I come from, and the person who helped shape who I am becoming. Happy Mother’s Day to my creator, my safe place, and my forever home. My Mom ❤️
