This Mother’s Day, you are seen.
No matter how your journey as a mother looks—we see you. We celebrate you. You hold a significant role in someone’s life, whether or not you share blood.
You are seen through your challenges and triumphs.
You are seen when you put others first—whether that means being fully present, or taking a step back to breathe so you can come back stronger.
You are seen, no matter if you have someone parenting beside you or you’re doing it solo.
A mum can’t always be there in every moment—and that’s okay.
A mum carries their children in their heart and mind, always.
Mums are versatile, resilient, and take on many different roles.
A mum won’t be the same “mum” to each of their children—and that’s not a flaw. That’s love in action.
A mum changes and adapts to meet the needs of each child.
My mum was an advocate for me—the one with the folder of reports, the regular appointments, the therapies—so I could grow into the independent woman I am today.
For my brother, she was a playmate, a tutor, a homework companion—someone who helped him thrive in education and become the freakishly smart man he is now.
She didn’t parent us the same.
She gave us what we needed to grow, to become independent, to thrive in the world we were put into.
As a kid, “you’re not the same as your sibling” felt unfair—but now I see it was exactly what we both needed.
A mum does the best they can with the information they have.
You—and your children—deserve to be seen, supported, and held by those who can.
From all of us at Inclusion With Grace: Happy Mother’s Day.
There aren’t enough words in the world to describe the experience and journey of being a mum.
