She also admitted the holiday can be hard emotionally since losing her mom in 2016, writing, "But no matter how much momming I mom, my Momby is the first mother that enters my brain on Mother’s Day. Her presence is ever present (and sometimes it feels like a present and sometimes it does not). And I don’t think that will ever change.
"So Mother’s Day ain’t just happy. It’s griefy / frustrated / moody / sad / lonely / longing / *insert pretty much any emotion here* / all of the above. Sending all my love to anyone and everyone out there who needs it today. You’re not alone."
