For Mother's Day during a year of uncertainty, 12 people shared small, lyrical stories celebrating the things moms do for their families. They are stories of small women with tall personalities; who make sugar sing so the scent surfaces memories of their ancestors; whose superpower is smiling as the kids share their Minecraft adventures; whose motto is "life is tough but I am tougher"; whose lullaby has soothed three generations; who teach boundaries via playful wrestling; who buck superwoman stereotypes so kids can cry when they're sad; who hides her moments of panic; who throws random birthday parties to celebrate others; who is always on time -- "you can set your clock by me"; and who builds the jigsaw puzzle frame so the kids can focus on the bits that intrigue them.
