Happy Mother's Day
Before the house wakes, you already have.
What three children said about their mother,
without thinking.
"She's very nice. Caring. Loving. She always takes care of you when you need it. She always makes sure you're doing everything right. She helps me with school, with home, when I'm hungry. Anything I need."
"Infinity. It never stops. She's nice. Loving. Caring. She helps us with everything when we need it. Everything. And she was smart enough to marry Dad."
"I love most how caring she is, and how much she works to give us everything we ask for. I love how she takes me shopping, to the beach, gives me everything I need and want. She shows me what it's like to be a woman, what it's like to be so intelligent and smart. Without her, I don't know what I would do. She's the best mom to ever exist."
The thing I should have said
better, sooner, and more often.
Dragana,
I am not always good at saying things the way they deserve to be said. So today I am going to try.
You are the rock. You are the stable. You are the sun, and we revolve around you.
You are the light of my life.
You have kept me whole. You have strengthened me in more ways than anyone can imagine. There is no version of the man I am that exists without the woman you are.
You are the best mother any of these kids could ever have. You are the best wife I could ever have. They are good because of you. I am better because of you.
Every day with you is like winning the lottery.
A man could have all the money in the world, and without you it would mean nothing. That is the bottom line. That is the truth I live with every single day. I do not say it enough. I am saying it now.
Happy Mother's Day, my love. Forever and a day.
Happy Mother's Day
For raising three remarkable children. For loving one stubborn husband through every season. For being the rock, the sun, the light, and the reason this family stands. For showing up every single day without asking for credit.
From the four people who know you best, on Mother's Day, May 2026. Today, tomorrow, and every day after. Forever and a day.
