Mother Dear
Mother Dear is a collection rooted in lineage. It honors the mothers who raised us, the grandmothers who held more than they were intended to, and the versions of us learning how to self mother — with tenderness, intention, and truth.
your beauty,
your story,
your pain,
your tenderness and grace,
opened a sacred ancestral chasm—
filling and bridging a longed-for sense of
connection and reflection.
You are beautiful,
and I am told I look like you.
— for my grandmother. Madea.
Mother Mommy Mom honors the many versions of motherhood we carry within us — the nurturing, the trying, the loving, the imperfect, and the deeply human. Written for those who love their mothers honestly and fully, this card creates space for tenderness, memory, healing, and the younger parts of ourselves that still long to be held.

Inside Message:
I’ve needed every version of you at one point or another in my life. And you gave me every version of you that was available to give. For that, I am grateful. I am grateful for your love. And a part of me, the younger part of me, still longs for more of it. I love you. And I hope that with each passing year, you are able to love yourself more fully, more fiercely.
