Happy Mother’s Day, friends 💐

I’m not sure why today feels heavier than usual. It’s not the first time Mum and I have spent this day in different cities—we’ve done this before. But something about being home alone today, while Treat Heart Pig went off to visit his mum, made the absence feel louder.

The house was quiet. Too quiet. And the distance between me and my parents felt just a little bit bigger. Some days, being apart is just part of life. Other days, like this one, it wraps around you like a cloudy fog and sits in your chest.

Love doesn’t fade with distance, but sometimes it aches a little more.
