to my mom.


for bedtime stories and clean sheets. for you are my sunshine and tell me why.

for showing me how to cut a whole chicken, and clean the bathroom spotless.

for a picnic on the coffee table with the red and white checked tablecloth. for pancakes at dinner time.

for making me study piano when i hated it.

for stability.

for my hand held gardening tools and flying across the country with a days' notice to pull weeds with me.

for humming in the kitchen.

for doing my taxes.

for a love that sustains. a love i know i cannot fully comprehend.


happy mother's day.
