In the Cracks, We Found Grace: A Daugther’s Dedication to Her Mother

By Daisy Solis, Muze Contributor

To my mom: you’re my greatest blessing. You’ll forever worry, make your special 101-ingredient tea when I’m sick, see us as your babies, pray for us, and “siempre nos mandas tú bendición” …even if it’s from afar. I was your pain-in-the-ass, “y te saqué las canas,” and did things not even my brothers did. Though I know I broke your heart many times. If I could weave through the fabric of time, I’d revisit moments that hurt you, and maybe change the course. But perhaps those jagged edges made our bond stronger, and the love we share today more resilient. Just maybe…

What they did do was shape me. Those moments, though painful, are etched in our story, reminding us that love isn’t about avoiding cracks but about embracing the beauty in imperfections. Your love and prayers will forever sustain me. Te amo, mami. Féliz Día De Las Madres.

Her words reflect a truth many of us hold close—that motherhood is layered, imperfect, and profoundly powerful.

The Universal Power of Mother

In many homes, our moms are the first ones up and the last to sleep. They’re bilingual counselors, career coaches, makeshift nurses, and keepers of tradition. And while they’re often seen as caretakers, they’re also dreamers, artists, entrepreneurs, and fierce leaders.

Motherhood Through a Muze Lens

Modern Muze founder Zulay Henao shares: “Motherhood changed me completely. It taught me to soften and sharpen at the same time. To be playful and powerful. My daughter taught me that I don’t have to be perfect to be a great mom—I just have to be present. Kennedy teaches me to play, laugh, be silly and stay grounded. She is a breath of fresh air, and if we listen and sit in those moments, we can really grasp the meaning of life: to learn, to love, and to evolve. Kennedy challenges me to stay grounded, to focus on what matters, to see the beauty and magic in the smallest things. She teaches me patience every day, and honestly, I am a better human being because of her. Read Zulay’s Journey To Grace editorial piece here!

My mother Luz is my home. She’s the one who calms my storms and steps in to shelter me and love me through life’s battles. Her presence is where I find peace, and her strength is the compass I return to when the world feels too loud. “Thank you, mami, for your unwavering love and support. I feel so honored to have you as my mother and to witness the beautiful bond you now share with my daughter.”

So today, we say thank you to every madre, mama, and mother. The ones who raised us, the ones raising the future, and the ones who mother in ways that go beyond blood.

For Every Woman Who Nurtures, Creates and Leads

We also honor all the women nurturing young lives in their own ways—whether through mentorship, teaching, caregiving, or simply showing up with love. And while motherhood is deeply sacred, it does not have to be the pinnacle of every woman’s story. There are many ways to create, guide, and love. in their own ways—whether through mentorship, teaching, caregiving, or simply showing up with love.
