She Is Still Here
Black Mother's Day card by James Earl Brown
Inside the card
Mother's Day hits different when your mother is gone. Grief has a way of slipping into every flower, every card, every room that holds her absence. But don't let that be the only truth today. She is in you — in the way you love people, in the words that come out your mouth that sound just like hers, in the decisions you make that she shaped without even knowing it. She raised somebody. Somebody whole, somebody worth loving, somebody worth being. That's not nothing. That's everything. That's her, still moving through this world. We hold her with you today — because she never really left.
