maybe you're not a mom.....

or
maybe you are
or
maybe you want to be one someday
or
maybe you're an aunt who often acts like a mom
or
maybe you're a foster mom
or
at least
i know
you're a woman
a sister
a grandmother
or
a wife
perhaps
~~
whoever you are
i hope
will give you all the inspiration you'll ever need
to believe in yourself
especially
on the days that you think
"are just too hard"
~~
and
to the dads out there who might be reading this
you'll be inspired
too
~~
stephanie has been my daily inspiration for over a year now
and
to not share her and her family with you
just wouldn't be right
*
happy mother's day
weekend
