My dear ones,

I want you to hear this loud and clear, and feel it in your soul: I am here for you. Always.

We may not always understand each other. We may not always see eye to eye. We may get frustrated, confused, or even downright baffled by one another. And that’s okay. That’s part of being human, part of being family. What matters most is this: I am in your corner, no matter what.

I will move the heavens and earth for you. I will fight for you. Cry with you. Celebrate your wins and hold you through your storms. You are my reasons for being—every single one of you. Whether I carried you in my body or in my heart, you are mine and I am yours.

I would give my life to ensure you are healthy, safe, happy, and secure—whatever that may look like for you. Not my version of your happiness or success, but yours. I will always support your path, your truth, and your dreams, even if they don’t match my own vision. I will always choose love over expectation.

This is a safe place—for all of you. You can come out to me, confide in me, vent to me, cry to me, share your wildest ideas and deepest secrets. But for the love of all that is sacred, if you don’t want me to say anything—TELL ME. I am not an all-powerful mind reader, even if I sometimes seem freakishly good at it. Intuition has its limits, and sometimes, just like the rest of us, I’m winging it. I’m your mom, not a magician (though I have my moments).

I am deeply human. I will make mistakes. I will stumble and say the wrong thing or not say anything at all when you need me to. This vulnerability is part of my commitment to you. It’s a reminder that love isn’t about perfection; it’s about presence. It’s about being there, even when things are tough. There will be days when the shadows of misunderstandings loom large, but you can always count on me to be your steady anchor amidst the chaos.

But never for one second will I stop loving you—with a love that is vast, fierce, and unconditional. The kind of love that doesn’t falter, even in the hard moments. Especially in the hard moments. Through every high and every low, I will be your unwavering supporter. I will encourage you to chase your dreams, to explore the world around you, and to forge your own path. Remember, every step you take toward your own happiness adds to the tapestry of our family.

So never doubt the depth of my commitment to you. If you falter, I will be there to catch you. If you soar, I will be there to cheer you on. No matter the circumstances, you will always have a place to land—my arms, which are always open to embrace you, regardless of where life takes us. Together, we will navigate the complexities of our relationships, finding joy in the journey, and strength in our love.

So please, never forget: I love you. Always. All ways.

No matter who you are.
No matter who you become.
No matter where life takes you.
No matter what happens.

You have me.
You have a home in me.
Forever.

With all my heart and wild, unwavering love,
Mom / Your Unconventional Momma
