 To all the incredible mothers I’ve had the honor of caring for—and to my dear friends and fellow women walking this beautiful, challenging path of motherhood: Today is for you. For your strength, your tenderness, and your tireless love. Whether you’re expecting, holding little hands, or guiding grown hearts, you are seen, valued, and deeply celebrated. Here's a small poem from my heart to yours: For All You Are, Mom You held my hand, then let it go, So I could walk, then run, then grow. Through every high, through every fall, Your love, unshaken, stood through all. You taught me grace, you taught me truth, You gave your strength, you gave your youth. No crown of gold, no worldly prize, Outshines the love behind your eyes. So here’s my heart, with thanks sincere-- For every hug, each whispered cheer. You're more than words could ever say-- My rock, my guide. Happy Mother’s Day. Wishing you joy, rest, and love today and always. 💗 #MothersDay #OBGYN #ladydocfolsom #ruthhaskinsmd  On World Ovarian Cancer Day it’s an excellent opportunity to shine a light on this silent killer.
