Mother's Day always brings out all the things.

Mother's Day can be complicated. It can keep you up at night thinking of things that hurt. It can instigate long chains of texts full of understanding with the only ones who know. It can fill you with fear when you imagine that those little hearts you created will one day stop beating. It can bring tidal waves of compassion for the ones who wish to mother. You can think of the million ways you will fail when it's Mother's Day. If you are lucky, you suck it up and accept the gifts & the breakfast. You sweep away the pain & enjoy the laughs and smiles you can bring to your babies. You stop thinking about the future and hard things. Those aren't here today. It is not a day to suffer if you don't have to.
