Thank you, Nadia! 😭 I did great yesterday! Mother's Day was always super simple before. Mom just wanted some food out, and we'd gift her flowers and jewelry and call it a day haha.

But ultimately I was okay. I think the most choked up I got was about a week before when I ran across an ad for a "you are my sunshine" necklace cause she sang that to me as a kid.

But! The day was good, and I wished so many other people in my life a Happy Mother's Day and it felt good to remember the other mothers in my life for once since we used to center it around my mom when she was here (of course!).

Thank you, always, for the encouragement!

Thank you, Nadia! Very true. Sometimes things just catch me off-guard and I may not sob but boy does whatever triggers me just consumes my thoughts for a decent amount of time. It's a wild journey but has made so many other perspectives about life come to life for me! Thank you again ♥

This was beautiful Cierra. And brave - sharing your grief with your community is not easy. I hope it made Mother's Day a little lighter and filled with good memories.

Thank you, Taegan! I had a good Mother's Day and realized that the energy I used to spend on mom can now go to the other mothers in my life! So I spent the day sending texts and cards and taking some said moms to dinner. It was nice!
