She is your first love before you even know what love means. Your first trust before you understand the weight of it. Your first comfort — the one who makes the world stop feeling so loud.

So be gentle with that name. And if you’re lucky enough to still say it out loud — say it often. Would you like a shorter version or one tailored for a specific tone (poetic, raw, nostalgic)?

Mommy is your first glimpse of what it means to give without counting the cost. And whether she’s still here or just a memory you carry, she is the name your heart learned to spell first.
