It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been here. I haven’t forgotten about you. I’ve been trying to figure out this new normal like the rest of you, while watching my hair turn gray.
It’s been a year none of us will forget, the Season of the COVIDs. With no extra energy to write, the blog and book have stalled. I also pressed pause because to be honest, writing about being a stepmom, and all that comes with it, feels a little tone deaf. Our world is suffering. We’ve lost friends, family, jobs, and what was.
I am lucky enough to be able to hug my mom today on Mother’s Day. We are fully vaccinated. There are millions of mothers and daughters, aunts, uncles, sons, brothers, fathers, and sisters around the world who will not be able to hug each other because the vaccine isn’t available to them.
We have to do more to ensure that the vaccine is available to all.
So, on this Mother’s Day, as global citizens, let’s join together to get the vaccine to everyone who mother and are mothered.
Happy Mother’s Day.
