Waking Up The World

• #MothersDay 2014

  My maternal grandmother died when my mum was 18. My paternal grandmother died when my dad was 22. I imagine this day has always been bittersweet for my parents. I am mindful of many for whom endless‪#‎MothersDay‬ platitudes can be painful and insensitive or just totally in contrast to their realities. But I also know that the mothers of this world are powerful and matter in fundamental ways. I honor them where ever they are. To my own flawed, brilliant, tenacious mum, I love you and can’t wait to be in your arms. Some instincts never go away, no matter how old we get, or how far apart.
