== Love Notes ==

Hey lovelies. I know that Mother's Day can be a mixed experience depending on your personal situation. If receiving a belated mother's day wish makes you happy-- then I am sending them your way-- if it's complicated, or hurtful, I'm sending hugs instead.
You are wonderful, and perfect as you are no matter what.
