Happy belated mothers day everyone! To all the moms, aunts, cousins, grandmothers, dads who’ve had to be moms and of course,, all the dog moms out there, you’re all super heroes and I adore you to no end.

I don’t have kids so I still don’t understand the miracle of destroying your body quite yet, it all sounds horrifying to me still, so I really do see all mothers as majestic creatures giving and raising life - it’s an unbelievable ex...
