Dear Nina Mae and Chloe Estelle,

To me, Mother’s Day is all about hope. My hope is that you will be exposed to new experiences and people whose cultures are different from your own. I hope there are many teachable moments in your life, and you make your own paths. And I sincerely hope I’m able to let you go at some point, to let you make your own decisions (for better or worse). What will you become? Who will you be? Where will you go? I can’t wait to find out! You’ve made this last year the best year of my life and I love you so much.

"I hope there are many teachable moments in your life, and you make your own paths."
