The way our kids look at you tells me everything I'd ever need to know about your mothering.

You're the parent who remembers the dentist, the field trip form, and which sock they prefer.

My wife, today rest. I've got the dishes, the kids, and the running commentary about cartoons.

Happy Mother's Day to the woman who taught me how to parent by quietly doing it better.

You make motherhood look like a choice you'd make again — and that's the gift our kids inherit.

To my wife — your patience built the calm room our kids retreat to when the world feels loud.
