I celebrate my carepartner: my Mom

Happy Mother’s Day, Mom, and thanks!

We scorn the crass commercialism

of Hallmark holidays

and flowery memes, you and I

(wonder where I get that from?)

but on the other hand,

we still appreciate the sentiment

of a Happy Mother's Day wish,

a Happy Birthday hug.

So we celebrate May together,

the beginnings of Spring,

sharing laughter and family.

And I will continue to say

thank you, thank you, thank you

for being my mom,

(like you had a choice!)

wheeling me around the 'hood

cleaning my house,

changing my sheets,

helping me problem solve,

and loving me selflessly.

Happy Mother's Day, Mom, and thanks!
