My Village Looks After Single Moms On Mother's Day, And It Means So Much To Me ([link removed])

I love this piece by our own Sarah Aswell about the different ways her people show up for her on Mother’s Day post-divorce. She writes, “Each year my friend group goes to a group of cabins in the woods for the weekend to celebrate Mother’s Day. It’s a group of six families, including two single moms. Initially, I was so happy to be included in the celebration in the first place, but then I got the details: the single moms were to have zero tasks for the weekend. They were going to be cared for by the community. The meals would be planned without us, the mental load would be lifted, and we would just be asked to relax and enjoy.”

I’m in awe of the tenacity of her village, and hope that all the moms – single or not – have people like these around them, for Mother’s Day and every other day of the year.
