The boundless love a parent has for their child is matched only by their capacity to embarrass them.
Parenting Shame
Can we stop shaming parents for having a break from their kids? I understand that maybe this comes from seeing some parents have nannys and never spend time with their kids, but for us, when we send our kids over to my parents they are spending quality time with their grandparents. Why do people shame us for that? Why would you shame someone that is letting their kids learn from someone older and wiser than even their parents?

Dear Mom,
Dear mom, It has been 5 years since the last time I saw you. The last time I was able to talk to you. It's been 5 years since you passed away and mothers day had come and gone. Your mother has also come and gone and there is so much I would like to say to you. First and foremost, a lot has happened in the last 5 years since you have been gone. Grieving has been hard on me and coming to terms with you being gone but I have learned so much that I have to thank you for.

This Daughter's Confession
Dear Mom, There’s a lot you don’t know about me. So much that you may not even recognize who I am once I tell you. But I cannot fathom living my life when you don’t know the real me. Before I tell you my secret, I want you to know that I’m not asking you for anything. No apologies. No defensive rebuttals. Nothing. Just take this daughter's confession and love her still. So, here it is, the one thing I’ve never wanted to tell you.

Dear Mama
Dear Ma, I don't know if I have said it to you before, but I am, chest out, big smile proud that I have you as a mother. You have been the most instrumental person in my life, all my life. The goal of this post is to write a letter to your mother expressing something that you never have told her before. As a kid growing up I hated that you used to take care of everyone, I hated that it was always my mom that had to help people. Between your roles in the church, and your job as a nurse and a mother of three, you were always giving yourself to people.

Every Girl Needs Her Mom
Dear Mom, I’ve never found the right way to tell you this, but I don’t think I need you around and someday I'll know that I won't. Now, this might seem strange, but let me explain. After all, every girl needs her mom. Doesn't she? These things that I'm saying may not seem to make much sense, considering that for the past 15 years of my life we’ve been growing around each other like scared, gnarled trees lost in the forest of our intertwining lives. We are bonded in ways that sometimes I feel as though only you and I could be. You understand me beyond comprehensible belief and despite anything I might be going through from day to day, you are always able to provide me with insight into what was like for you and what to do while being me. And although I don’t have the ability to provide you with the same knowledge, I am always there to listen with open ears and an open mind. I am there to wipe your tears like that one day on the porch when everything felt like it was breaking you down. You are always there to hold me every night I can't find my way to sleeping, from when I was a child with nightmares, to when I was a teenager with a broken heart. I love you more than anyone in this world and according to you, you love me more than yourself. Yet, somehow, I’ve found my way to think that I don’t need you around. It's not meant to be cruel though, and ironically enough the reason I think this is because of you.

My Muddy Mother.
Hi. Mother mayhem. We have all been talking about how much we are looking forward to summer at the bach with you, and are envious of you living out there full time with Dylan this week. Also can you use the wood instead of selling it this year? That's right i know about your secret side earns, the bootleg liqour too. Dylan called to say the wood had arrived yesterday and we had a nice chat. He also sent me a funny video of your antics he secretly took of you last week for the archives. I'll watch it later. I haven't heard from you though. That's always suspicious. Anyway, hope you're not up to anything too naughty MOTHER!

A Daughter's Wish
You are enough, I say to myself with eyes closed tight. Some part of me knows that you love me. All those months that you carried me in your heart and womb, you dreamt of us. But when I emerged into the world, a young girl with a strong inclination to speak her truth–it scared you.

4 Words
Dear Mum, A confession is never really easy to say and to be honest when I started writing this, I didn't know what was to come. Something you wouldn't know, is that you have been triggering me for years with 4 little words. They bug the absolutely crap out of me and to be honest when my husband says the exact same 4 words it makes me furious. Whenever you say the words, I feel unimportant, unloved, unwanted and most importantly that I am the cause of you having to say those 4 words. Those 4 words carry so much pain for me, but to you, it is probably nothing to say, but to me it is downright horrible. I have been hearing those 4 words since Dad left and that is 36 years ago. Even on my birthday this year you still said those 4 words. I think they are so ingrained in your vocabulary that they just roll off your tongue, especially when you don't want to do something or life is too hard.
