dear mommy: how the hell did daddy, my siblings and i get so lucky? there has never been a moment you’re not with me as i’ve been away from home. there’s always a smell, a taste, a thought, a melody—a moment that triggers my missing of you. tears of gratitude embrace my face as i’m reminded in so many ways how fortunate i am to be your daughter. thank you for life, thank you for love, thank you for accepting the ever-evolving human that is me. my teachings of empathy started with you. my teachings of empowerment started with you. my teachings of understanding and unconditional love started with you. you are my heart, my number one lady. never letting you go, never letting you go. . this is a photo of my mother ngozi when some of my family visited me in philly while i was there for a conference. . . . #viewsbyo #gratitude #love #mother #mom #happymothersday #life #family #portrait #scorpio #naijamom #missyou https://www.instagram.com/p/CABEpLuphGN/?igshid=14zalxcnfjxl
