You Didn't Have To — But You Did

Black Mother's Day card by Keisha Simmons

Inside the card

Some mothers are chosen for you. Some you choose for yourself. And some — some step into a situation they didn't create and love like they built it from the ground up. That's you. You didn't have to show up the way you did. But you chose us anyway, and that kind of love doesn't go unnoticed. Thank you for everything you poured in. Happy Mother's Day.
