I'll love you through every version of you that comes next β the tired one, the brave one, the one I haven't met yet.
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.
Thank you for being patient with the parts of me that are still under construction β your patience is rebuilding me.
You are my favorite thing the world ever offered me, and I have refused to take that for granted a single day.
I love you in the way that doesn't need an audience β quietly, daily, and exactly where you stand.
Some days I forget to breathe deeply, and then you walk in, and my chest remembers β happy us, always.
You make my life feel less like a list of things to survive and more like a story worth staying inside of.

I love you β and that sentence keeps growing roots, no matter how many times I say it out loud.
If my heart had a window, yours is the face I'd want framed in it every evening I come home.
Mom, I've spent years trying to find words big enough for what you've done β they don't exist, so please accept these small ones.
I think of all the meals, the rides, the late nights β and I know now that love is mostly stamina, and you have it.
You loved me through versions of myself I'm still apologizing for β and you never once kept score.
Mom, you taught me how to be human by being one yourself, plainly, without ever asking for credit.
I'm the woman I am because of the woman you've been β and I'm only starting to understand how much that cost you.
Thank you for the years you put yourself last so I could put myself anywhere at all.
Some days I just want to call you and say nothing β your voice on the line is the whole point.
You held me before I could remember being held, and I still feel it on the days I most need to.
Mom, you're the soft, steady evidence that I was loved before I ever had to earn it.
I see now how often you were tired β and how often you smiled anyway. I don't take that lightly.
You are the first house I ever lived in, and parts of me will always pay rent there.
Mom, thank you for the love that arrived without explanation β the kind that didn't need to be asked for to show up.
I love you in the way only a child can love a mother β clumsily, fiercely, and not nearly often enough.
Every kind thing I do, I learned from watching you β usually when you didn't know anyone was watching.
Mom, I owe you for the laughter you protected, the fear you absorbed, the courage you handed me piece by piece.
You are the reason I know what home means β and the reason I keep trying to build something half as warm.
Thank you for never giving up on the difficult parts of me. They've gotten better. They've gotten better because of you.
