To my friends — the title 'mother' suits you, and today I'm saying so out loud, on the record, with conviction.

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.
Mom — your daughter here, finally old enough to thank you for the things I once rolled my eyes at.
From the daughter you raised: the way you handled hard people taught me everything I now use at work.
Mom, I borrowed your patience long before I had any of my own — happy Mother's Day from the borrower.
Your daughter remembers the lullabies, the sandwiches with the crusts cut off, and the way you knew when to stop asking.
Happy Mother's Day from a daughter who finally cleans her room without being asked — and credits you privately every time.

Mom, you raised a daughter who knows how to ask for help — which is harder than you make it look.
From your daughter: the small things you did daily added up to who I am, and I'm finally itemizing the receipt.
Happy Mother's Day to the mom who taught her daughter that softness and strength are not opposites — they're partners.
Mom, you let me leave home gracefully, and you let me come back without an itemized list of my mistakes.
Your daughter writes this card knowing no card can hold it — but you raised me to try anyway. So here I am, trying.
From the daughter who finally drinks her coffee the way you drink yours — happy Mother's Day, with cream and no apology.
