Advice from my mom
Trust that your children are good enough to know what they’re doing and to do what’s right. And don’t be too bossy.
Mother’s Day
I want to say Happy Mother’s Day, but I also want to think about what mothers endure, with and without their children. This photograph by Dorothea Lange is not “the past.”
Advice from my mom
Always be kind. Be thankful for what you have. Don’t go to bed angry. Always say “I love you.”
