The best Mother’s Day! I’m so thankful to be a mom of this little ???? and to my mom to show me the best example of how strong, loving, caring, inspiring you are. You taught us what unconditional love is all about and how strive for the best version of yourself. Love you mommy! (My mom doesn’t like photos, so I’m not posting one) ?? and to all the mothers and grandmothers out there you are all amazing!
