These cookies will always be extra special to me because they were made for someone who has spent her life pouring so much of herself into caring for others. 🤍
My mom was nominated for a DAISY Award, and while I’m incredibly proud of the recognition, what makes me the proudest is knowing why she was nominated.
She has always had such a deep heart for people, especially those who are underserved, overlooked, or simply need someone to advocate for them. She doesn’t just care for her patients; she advocates for them. She advocates for students, for the people around her, and for anyone who happens to cross her path and need a little extra kindness, encouragement, or someone in their corner.
Her passion and love for what she does radiates through everything she touches. It’s just who she is. She shows up, she cares deeply, and she makes people feel seen.
I’ve watched that my entire life, and I couldn’t be prouder to call her my mom. Getting to make these cookies and cakepops for her was such a small way for me to celebrate someone who has spent so much of her life making other people feel cared for.
Mama, you deserve every bit of this recognition and more. I hope you know how many lives you’ve touched simply by being you. I love you so much, and I’m endlessly proud of you. 🤍
Congratulations on your DAISY Award nomination. 🥹🌸
