Mother's Day Edition

For Mom,
from all of us

A photo wall, a love letter, an inside-joke museum, and a public record of the woman who has been right about literally everything since 19-something-she'd-rather-not-say.

Warning: contents may include happy crying, snorting at your phone, and forwarding this to seventeen relatives.

An open letter

Dear Mom,

We made this for you because one card did not feel like enough. One bouquet did not feel like enough. One brunch reservation where the waiter ignored us for forty minutes definitely did not feel like enough.

So we built you a website.

Inside is every photo we have of you looking iconic, every memory we still talk about at dinner, every message we have been meaning to say out loud, and every joke that only works because you are the punchline (in the most loving, court- admissible way).

You are our home base. Our emergency contact. Our life consultant. Our unpaid therapist. Our snack provider. Our emotional support human. The reason we have manners and the reason we don't.

And somehow, after all of that, you still answer the phone on the first ring.

We love you more than this website can hold, but we are going to try.

Love,

All of Us

p.s. yes, we used a coaster.

We love you more than this website can hold

Mom, this site is full of memories, photos, jokes, stories, and love — but even all of this is only a tiny piece of what you mean to us.

Thank you for every meal, every hug, every ride, every call, every sacrifice, every laugh, every lesson, and every reminder to bring a jacket because "it's colder than you think."

You are the heart of our family.

And yes — for the record — you were right about basically everything.
