Mother’s Day always feels a little bigger once you become a mum yourself.
You understand more. You see more. You realise how much of motherhood is love in the tiny things... the showing up, the worrying, the holding it together, the getting it wrong and trying again, the quiet sacrifices no one really sees at the time.
I’m so grateful for my mum. For the love, the lessons, the patience, the support, and probably a million things I didn’t fully understand until I had Tilly.
And being Tilly’s mum is one of the greatest, wildest, most stretching privileges of my life. It has cracked me open in ways I didn’t expect, taught me more about love than I thought possible, and made me realise that motherhood is never just one thing.
It’s beautiful. It’s hard. It’s messy. It’s tender. It’s exhausting. It’s everything.
So today I’m sending love to the mums, the grandmothers, the mother figures, the women missing their mums, the mums missing their babies, the people finding today complicated, and the ones quietly doing their best.
There is room for all of it today.
Happy Mother’s Day.
