New Wishes
A handful of wishes pulled from the cabinet this morning. Pick one up — copy, save it to your pinboard, or send it on.
You walked into my life sideways and somehow ended up in the center of my heart.
Happy Mother's Day to us both — you for becoming the woman you are, me for being lucky enough to witness it.
Step-daughter, our story didn't start at chapter one, but the chapters we have are favorites of mine.
You let me show up for you, and that quiet permission was the greatest gift anyone has given me.
To the young woman who taught me patience, humility, and how to fold laundry her way — thank you.

More from today
Happy Mother's Day from the woman who chose you, again and again, on the easy days and the hard ones.
Step-daughter, the love between us is the kind that grew on its own time, which makes it real.
You didn't owe me closeness, but you offered it anyway — that generosity defines you.
On Mother's Day I think about the bridges we built — wobbly at first, sturdy now, ours always.

To my step-daughter — you've made our blended life feel less blended and more simply ours.

Step-daughter, the inside jokes we've built are small monuments to how far we've come.
On Mother's Day, I celebrate the version of family we made together, deliberately, and a little bravely.
You let me into your life slowly, and I'll spend mine making sure that decision keeps feeling right.
