You taught our kids to be brave by being brave first, often without anyone noticing.
New Wishes
A handful of wishes pulled from the cabinet this morning. Pick one up β copy, save it to your pinboard, or send it on.
My wife, your mothering is a slow, daily art. I'm grateful I get to watch you practice it.
To the woman whose calm is contagious β our kids caught it, and now they pass it on too.
Happy Mother's Day to my wife, the keeper of birthdays, allergies, and the family group chat.
You make motherhood look graceful even when you're describing how hard it was last week.
My wife, you're the reason our kids laugh easily and apologize quickly. That's modeling, not luck.

To the woman I'd choose again β happy Mother's Day to my best decision and our kids' best gift.
Happy Mother's Day to my wife β I see the unseen parts, even if I don't always name them aloud.
You are the heart of this family, and today the family is trying to be the heart of yours.
My wife, may today bring you the quiet, the rest, and the love you've given us all year.
To a dear friend β your kids talk about you the way I talk about my favorite people. That's the proof.
Happy Mother's Day to the friend whose mothering I've borrowed ideas from more times than I'll admit.
You parent the way you befriend β fully, attentively, with snacks always somewhere nearby.
To my dear friend β watching you raise your kids has been one of the quiet privileges of knowing you.
Happy Mother's Day, friend β your kids are turning out kind, which says everything about who you are.
You answer my parenting panic texts at midnight. Today I want to answer yours: you're doing great.
To the friend who became a mother and somehow stayed exactly herself, only multiplied β happy day.
Happy Mother's Day to the woman whose kids treat my kids like cousins. That's your doing entirely.
You showed me that mothering and friendship aren't separate projects β they share the same muscle.
To my dear friend β your house is loud, warm, and the place my kids ask to go on weekends.
Happy Mother's Day to the friend who never made me feel behind, even when I clearly was.
You mother with humor, which the kids will appreciate increasingly the older they get.
To the friend who texts me memes about toddlers at three a.m. β today, may you sleep through three a.m.
Happy Mother's Day, friend β your kids are lucky, and I'm lucky by the transitive property.
You're the friend I call before the pediatrician. Your instincts are uncanny and your reassurance free.
